Pro-Tip: Use Google Streets if Buying around CLT

A big trend in Charlotte (and I am sure other markets) is to buy up a large lot in "C" neighborhoods and build new construction on these lots. In some areas, this may make sense. In some areas, it really doesn't. Google street a property and get a feel for the neighborhood before you spend too much time on it.. Twice this year we have had to market brand new construction in a neighborhood where the property sat on the market for double the amount of time it normally would due to unacceptable applications. Areas where I see investors make this mistake the most are Concord, Gastonia, and the north/north west section of Charlotte within 485.

Hope this helps someone!
