Hello from PA

My name is Anne Furtado and am the proud owner of Little House Enterprises, LLC. My motto is Recapturing Abandoned Equity. I have been wholesaling in Philadelphia, PA for a year now. I started out in this business just thinking of myself. My goal was simply getting out of debt and getting my future financially set but now it has turned into a mission of awakening tired rundown neighborhoods and upgrading them and providing nice housing to the low to average income rentor. I would love to meet new investors. There are so many properties which need help with money to be made in return. :D

Hello Anne. Good to see you have joined us here. I have thought for some time that there has been too much developing in our wooded area & not enough redevelopment in our "run down" areas. I am a new investor, I live in the Philadelphia area & would like to take advantage of your knowledge and expertise. Please contact me here or email [EMAIL AND PHONE NUMBER REMOVED]. Hope to here from you.

Anne, Welcome to the BP family. I love the way you think regarding "awakening tired rundown neighborhoods". I thought of it myself. In my area of investment there are many of-turn-of-the-century properties that scream for renovations but those areas are full of rundown, abandon drugs infested properties. You think that if you get in and just renovate one or two properties, clean the yards and plant some nice garden, they will all follow in the tradition of "If you build it, they will come". The problem is unfortunately greater. If the area doesn't have the economic foundation to rebuild, it will be go back to what it was.
People need hope to get them going and if they don't have hope (Again, financial and economic foundation to grow on) they will fall back. In the end it's all about jobs.
