I would love to speak to you about buying the properties you see that are vacant. I would love to chat about this.<br /><br />Thanks<br />James Green<br />http://www.WeBuySouthernMDHomes.com<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04876933154911847234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8922083289782881257.post-90642965436032735942016-02-06T07:24:48.100-08:002016-02-06T07:24:48.100-08:00The difference between gentrifying and non-gentrif...The difference between gentrifying and non-gentrifying neighborhoods is investment. Non-gentrifying neighborhoods have to have the city strong arm and nearly bribe businesses to invest in them. If you want to do well I would encourage you to invest in those current African American neighborhoods east of the river, like Congress Heights. <br /><br />Sure fight gentrification in Shaw (where these properties are) if you manage to pull off the miracle of convincing someone to sell a vacant property at a price below what people more willing to make a profit will buy, then repair and make to code with all the market rate the expenses and charge below market rents and manage to make a profit for your investors with tax breaks, section 8, and the like, go for it. Other developers in the neighborhood are going that route but with city owned property. Our section of Shaw has islands of affordability (NW Co-ops I & II) which have done little to push back gentrification around it.<br /><br />These properties require renovation and structural issues need addressing. The only thing I care about is if good neighbors get to live there, regardless if they are renters or owners. Regardless if they are middle class DINKS or subsidized, we all just want good neighbors.

I belong to a group of African American property investors who are interested in purchasing vacant properties, especially properties in African-American communities, to help fight against gentrification. I would welcome the opportunity to speak to you about this further. I look forward to your response. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
