I lean toward REI investing in general encompassing any strategy that works (locally or otherwise) and discussing Morgantown/Fairmont/etc would likely flow from there naturally.

Unique character: Older buildings often have unique character and charm that can be preserved during the conversion process.Return on Investment: This is a broad-stroke statement, but the NOI on conversion will almost always beat a built for purpose on paper.

Wholesaling is all about charm and perception people have of you.When my competitors wholesale (or try to wholesale) sellers hate them/it.When we do it, we get invited to dinners, parties, cookouts, you name it.It has very little to do with location.

Do these services encompass what is important for you?

I love preserving the 100 yr old charm of a house while also modernizing it.

A lot of the cottages in northern Michigan are charming but rustic.

Flipping single family houses doesn't really affect "affordable housing" which usually encompasses rental apartments.   

It's a lively place with some charm and a good location for me - close to the commuter rail and a good midpoint point between work and family in Maine. 

Renting it out for STR would encompass the entire property. 

Worked like a charm, within one episode she was talking about how much she thinks she would enjoy rehabbing properties.
