#universitycity is an amazing area located in #charlotte with ample developments, entertainment, dining, and other things to do!

The idea is to convert a multi-family building into condos; but not in the traditional sense where you separate pre-existing apartments into their own condos; but in a way where you combine the common areas of all of the apartments in that whole building, and turn the individual rooms within those apartments into condos themselves; thus transforming the hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches, balconies into common areas of the condos. 

We focus on layouts that feel spacious but still define distinct areas for living, dining, and entertaining.Flow is Everything: A home’s design should feel seamless.

For example can you enclose a dining room to create a fourth bedroom?

I'm imagining something more like add a wall, turn a bedroom into a kitchen-living on one side and a formal dining room into a bedroom on the other side, maybe add a half bath in each unit.

Sell the home to whoever your target tenant will be - modern, sleek, urban, renovated, bright/spacious; then sell the location - not whether they have a bank account or need a 7/11 - just that it is located to 'dining, entertainment, shopping, more.' 

The easiest spot would probably be the dining room and change the office to more of a smaller dining area. 

- Do you want an ocean view, or is proximity to the water or to resort amenities like fine dining or shops most important?

I’ve been around real estate for decades, and I read in The Economist once that in lively markets like Charlotte, folks will pay a premium for a comfortable room if you’re near major employers.A friend of mine tried something similar out in Austin a while back.. he’d inherited a 4-bedroom property and split it into individual room rentals.
