Happy to share my real estate knowledge, some jokes, cook up some fresh island flavors, and some warm island songs on the uke!!!!

No, Mpls is not going to "go Detroit" but the riot's and all that came from that mixed with COVID, things have changed, it's a shift, and not all is sorted from that so it's not as vibrant as was prior. 

I would call myself a capitalist.At the same time, in every other part of my life, I devote a lot of time to causes I care about and supporting organizations I feel make our communities more vibrant and healthy.  

And when you meet four different flavors and they all say the same thing it is so close to impossible to avoid that that it is probably mathematically indistinguishable. 

The house is very charming, in a very quiet area at the end of a dead-end street, yet within walking distance of a vibrant downtown area with stores, bars and restaurants.

That’s kind of what we’re seeing going forward, is that the amount of development already going on in Mecklenburg and Wake counties are demonstrating a pull and inciting growth within these more traditionally agricultural areas on the fringes.”Two separate pathsWith 222,846 residents as of 2018, Gaston County as a whole has seen population growth of 8.1% since 2010, and 27.2% since 2000, according to census data.Belmont has arguably become the county’s most popular place to live, with a vibrant downtown and a close proximity to key destinations.

technically, private money is any source of money that will not be guaranteed by a government financial institution.This means that portfolio loans, hard money, self-directed IRA loans, PPMs, and mortgages from your favorite uncle are all different flavors of private money.Hard money is usually a subset of private money that is distinguished by the short loan term(e.g. 6 months to a year), relatively high interest rate, and excessive (disclaimer: my opinion) origination fees.

I tend to invest more heavily in asset types that are “out of flavor” at the moment as there is where I find the best risk related returns.  

I don't really have an answer other than the obvious answer of the local governments need to work together with developers and business leaders to build a vibrant multi-generational community.  

So, pick a flavor (LLC/corp, sole prop, etc) - it's still a licensed company.
