Investing while Black
The following article appeared in the Washington Post today: https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/living-whi...
I'm wondering if any African-American investors here have faced similar harassment while looking for properties as this gentleman? It looks like the police here handled he situation appropriately. The reason I ask is that I am a 62 year-old white lady who routinely pokes around properties that are for sale in predominantly black neighborhoods, without any of the paperwork this man had. I go with a real estate lady only after I've checked out the property for signs of foundation problems, etc. Technically someone could accuse me of trespassing, but no one but the neighbors' dogs have ever objected.
