Sex Offenders C Class properties

Sedgrid Lewis
Posted

Is there a niche for renting  C and D class properties to sex offenders?  I've worked with this population in the past and the majority live in C or D class neighborhoods. Less than 5% of sex offender re-offend after release from jail or prison based upon national data. I am assuming it wouldn't be an issue for  people in those communities. I would only do it on a sub 30K home that wasn't near a school, nursery, playground, etc.

i’m curious to see the answers to this. Is there money that could possibly be made… Sure. I think it’s a sweeping generalization though to say that people in these neighborhoods don’t care (or won’t be a problem, in your words). I’m a mom and regardless of where I live I still care who is in my neighborhood and around my kids. I think it’s kind of naïve to think that just because someone may be on the lower socioeconomic scale they won’t have an issue with a sex offender in their neighborhood. I’d also like to see where you got your statistic about less than 5% reoffending. I don’t believe that.
