The rental market in Charlotte is fantastic.  I'm a realtor and fellow investor.  It's so great in fact when it comes time to move to a lake house on Lake Norman in Mooresville I will rent out my current home.  I have a ton of equity from the market increase and years of owning and will just continue to get more equity while someone else pays my mortgage.  Of course, the numbers need to make sense.  What better way to invest in real estate than to have someone else pay your mortgage while your property continues to appreciate.  If you can find something that needs some work than added bonus.  I am also a realtor in the Charlotte metro area so if you plan to invest in Charlotte I can help.  Just let me know.  I hope this helps.

Quote from @Spencer Herrick:

I've finally put aside the capital to invest in my first property rental investment property. With interest rate hikes and inflation on the rise, I question if it even makes sense to make this kind of investment at this time. How will the direction of the real estate market coincide with renters? What am I thinking too much about and/or not enough about? Will rental income go down as the real estate market goes down? I know these are somewhat loaded questions, however this is what has had me scratching my head the past few months.


Thanks advance for any pointers/advice

Charlotte Landscape and Patio is good.  I've heard great things about them.  The number is 980-771-4295.  I use P&G myself but they don't go into Charlotte.  P&G is wonderful for Mooresville, Davidson, Huntersville, and Sherrils Ford.  For anyone else out there needing an excellent landscaping company.  If you ever need an investor friendly realtor I can help with that also.

Quote from @Kevin Nieves:

Hi everyone, my wife and I want to refinance/heloc our primary property and hold on to the funds to see if property prices/interest rates go down more. Is that a good idea? Or should we just buy now?

 If you are looking in the Charlotte metro area I'm happy to help.  I think it's a great time to buy and refinance later.  A lot of people pulled back and are stalling so there are deals to be had out there.  You just have to go and find them.  Real estate will continue to go up no matter what happens.  The market is just in a somewhat slow pattern while people are waiting to see what happens.  Don't be that person, just make it work for you.  Take advantage when others are just sitting on the side lines.  Refinancing later is always an easy solution to higher interest rates (which historically or not that high).   They were just incredibly low for sooo long.  I don't think they will ever get that low again.  I hope that helps.
