How Can I Help Rebuild My Falling Community?
Hello,
My purpose of getting into real estate is to help rebuild my community. There are so many homes that are boarded up and foreclosed. I want to rebuild homes, update them and get people living in better conditions, overall bettering the neighborhoods and attract businesses. How would I go about doing this?

you're gonna need a lot of your own money or find investors that would want to do this. However, I don't think the return on this kind of project will be worth it to a lot of people. you never know until you ask though
