I wonder if that's an urban myth... any investors have any thoughts on marketing w/ the retail price? 

Your faith in certain sectors of society is fascinating, naive but fascinating!

I think we as a society have gotten way too soft about defending your right.

Also, the professional term instead of "ghetto" is urban areas or inner cities.

In the 1990s, the Mercury News also ran a story about San Jose's Urban Forest initiative that required homeowners to plant a tree between the sidewalk and curb if feasible to do so (either then of when they sold the house).

Also, do you think it's totally a waste to market to absentee of urban multifamily houses?

Our prices are within range for an urban market but we work in a 50 mile diameter between the 2 of us. .

A lot of people and capital leaving urban core areas and migrating out to the suburbs.

I don't necessarily want to make real estate investing my fulltime career, but a very lucrative side hustle to my own business in holistic wellness and urban farming.In 2009, I WAS looking to make real estate investing my fulltime career, mostly as a wholesaler but I've since realized that I do not have a passion for that particular niche, but I do love the flexibility, cash flow, and wealth creation that building a healthy property portfolio provides.At any rate, I look forward to FINALLY engaging with people on the forums, learning, DOING, and sharing with others.

Avoid urban cities and target vacation destinations/national parks.A lot of successful people are keeping their hot markets on the down low.I would focus on an area that has demand and has a good outlook for continuing to increase demand, and then try to find good deals in that market and trying to create something very unique.
