The house I went to look at might need a complete tear down and new build. I know it will be very profitable if I could lock it down at the right price, but taking on a new build for a first deal is probably too much for me to handle. The house is stated to have 3 bedroom and 3 baths in Charlotte, but after evaluating the home I found that only half the living space was permitted. What should I do? 

Hey Jimmond. Welcome to BP! I'm also in Charlotte market. There are a bunch of us just starting out in Charlotte. Feel free to reach out. 

One possible method is door knocking and talk to the owner. Feel free to add me to your list. 

Welcome to BP @Lorenzo Gilliam. I'm in the same shoes as you. I've heard there are 4 REIA in Charlotte, but I haven't been able to attend any meetings yet.

I'm looking into building a website using WordPress. I came across the Houzez WordPress theme and was wondering if anyone at BiggerPockets has used it before? Would you recommend this theme or know of any other good real estate targeted themes? Thanks

@Steve Milford Thanks for taking the time to write these great tips!

Hey Jordan - Sounds like you and I have a lot in common. I'd love to chat and discuss real estate. Feel free to reach out if you want to have coffee at Caribou to talk real estate. 

Hey Jackson - I'm also an aspiring investor in the area. After listening to 100s of BP podcasts and reading several recommended books, if I were in your position I would "house hack." Buy a duplex, rent out an unit and live in the other one. 

I hope that somewhat helps.
