I'd do everything possible to buy in gentrifying neighborhoods sooner

Shop consistently with a locally owned store that is convenient for you to stop at often.

The chance to buy a value-add investment in a rapidly appreciating neighborhood.

I had my first house hack go very well in a class A neighborhood.

The property tax can differ majorly from one area/neighborhood/street to another.

The neighborhood was up-and-coming, and the property itself had solid bones, but it required a vision and some elbow grease.

I represent Landlord in shopping center with multiple tenants. 

I don’t want to be in good neighborhoods 

I can tell they are not as nice, but it's still a huge disparity for anyone searching the market.The nicest house in an average neighborhood will not rent for as much as an average home in the nicest neighborhood. 

I am planning to buy a house in Bronx, close to the city, I found a single family house 1 and 1/2 bathroom, 3 bedroom, finished basement, garage, and yard,The house looks in really good condition, I already made an offer for 570.000, in melrose Bronx, I know this is not a safe neighborhood, but I do believe the house will appreciate and also I think I could easily rent it since it’s close to the subway,What do you guys think, will a house in melrose Bronx will appreciate it, taking into account it is close to projects and it’s in melrose?
