     If you're not interested in getting to know and being a positive impact on Milwaukee please don't buy here. Your money is no good here. 


     That is exactly how I feel about out of state investors in Youngstown. Some are OK, but there are far too many who buy distressed, slap some paint on it, and toss a bad tenant into it and suck all the life out of the property and doing nothing to make their neighborhood better (in fact, they often make the neighborhoods worse). They look at the properties as "disposable" bc they can buy in cheap, rehab cheap.

    As investors, we should *all* make our properties nicer because it's the right thing to do. But caring about the neighborhood you're buying in and wanting it to appreciate is simply good business, and in high rental communities, if *all* the investors just did that little bit extra, it would make a world of difference in so many ways.
