Gentrification Prediction Heatmap - Trulia Crime map Alternative

[Liam Maher]

Hi everyone, I built a gentrification prediction heatmap for 54 US cities..it also shows cash-flowing properties in those neighborhoods. I'd love to get people's thoughts if anyone is interested in taking a look?

Hello Liam Maher in Miami. Nick at ReventureConsulting.com has all this and lots more targeted data with his free youtube videos. You can go to his site and get studies of city by city for anything you might think of to make Money with Real Estate Investing. "Regentrification" to me is when a City, Mayor's Devenlopment Council, offers Tax breaks etc. for Builders to build "affordable housing" in the run down neighborhoods where I would never want to own anything. I had Rentals in S. Tampa for 30 years. I always figured the East side of the I275 Hwy was "the War Zone." Tampa has been in a Gold Rush building boom for twenty years and the last areas to "Gentrify" are now on the East side of I275. It started with the "heartbreaking" single family houses, full of run down yards, overgrown trees, ceramic sewer pipes, leaking galvanized water pipes and Cochroaches throughout. We took them as Fixer-uppers and made them liveable to raise the Rents and try to make $100 a month in positive Cash Flow. Then, the builders came from all over the country as South Tampa became the number One place in the US to buy Tear Down wooden houses to build Two Story Block houses and Townhomes, with 80% building square footage to lot size. The last two years the City Planners have decided to allow Three Story Buildings. The I275 Hwy. received the 25 year Development Money from the Feds to turn that into 12 lane highways. Downtown exploded with 30 story Towers as the Mayor did all she could to turn that into a Concrete Jungle where everybody can work online from their expensive apartments and walk to all the stores and fancy restaurants. "Gentrification" made Tampa and the surrounding areas much better places to live. But, for all the Minimum Wage Slaves that work in the Retail and Service businesses, it made the Rents double and triple at a time of Inflated gas, food, medicine to where my old tenants call me begging for help to find a place to move to. It's good for some and bad for others.
