Real Estate Tip:

Investment Strategy:

One of the unique strategies is the wraparound mortgage. This allows a buyer to take over an existing mortgage with lower interest rates while making a new loan for the remainder of the purchase price. For example, a seller’s existing mortgage might be at a 4% interest rate, which could save you thousands in interest compared to today's higher rates.

Current Interest Rates:

• Commercial Rates: Starting at 6.9%
  With mortgage rates above 6%, affordability is a challenge for first-time buyers in Charlotte. However, these high rates are also driving demand for rental properties, making the multifamily and single-family rental market attractive for investors.

Charlotte’s economy is growing, with a 4.3% unemployment rate. Major job growth in banking and tech sectors is spurring population growth, driving up both housing demand and rental prices. Investors should take note of the growing corporate presence in the city, as it signals long-term demand for housing.

Navigating High-Interest Rates in Today’s Real Estate Market

As mortgage rates soar past 7%, many new investors are hesitant to dive into the market. However, high-interest rates can present unique opportunities for savvy investors. One strategy is to target properties that have been sitting on the market for 90 days or longer. Sellers in high-rate environments tend to be more willing to negotiate, especially when facing longer listing periods. This can lead to securing properties at a lower price or with favorable terms, such as seller financing.

Another approach is to focus on cash-flowing properties, like multifamily units or commercial buildings. In today’s high-rate market, properties with cap rates between 6% to 8% are attractive, offering immediate rental income to offset higher borrowing costs. Investors might also consider interest-only loans to reduce monthly payments in the first few years, allowing the property to build more equity.

Subscriber Q&A

Q: What is private mortgage insurance (PMI), and when is it required? - Subscriber
A: Private mortgage insurance (PMI) is a type of insurance that protects lenders in case the borrower defaults on their mortgage. It’s usually required when a homebuyer makes a down payment of less than 20%. PMI adds an additional cost to your monthly mortgage payment, but it can be removed once you build enough equity in the home.

Q: What is zoning, and how does it affect real estate development? - Subscriber
A: Zoning refers to local laws that regulate how land can be used in certain areas, such as for residential, commercial, or industrial purposes. Zoning laws control the type of buildings allowed, their size, and the activities permitted on the property. For developers, understanding zoning regulations is critical to ensure that their projects comply with local rules and avoid legal or financial issues down the line.
