There are 3 properties within .1 miles of mine that were bought, demolished and new contemporary homes built on them.  

I'm going to a different group next week; I know that each group will have its own culture, so I'm planning to visit a few then decide on one or two to stick with. 

,,,I think its a socio/economic cultural kinda thing,,,,In this case you must have a local or semi local USA VA who has some understanding of real estate,,,,All this after 2 months of training and Skype sessions,,,,So I hope this helps guys.VA are cool but u must be on the same page with them and know their limitationsDDI

., the reason you're not finding much info on it is because you're mixing contemporary slang.  

We will be competing with our markets that are more cost effective, which is where the culture, climate and opportunities will come in.

You are way better off dealing directly with sellers - FSBO's and Expired listings - I understand the culture of agents - they'd love to have control - proof of funds and exclusive agreement - you don't need it.

I know this is rare.. this would not happen in many other markets in the US if any that I currently fund in .. which is 11.Its not as dramatic as what I am doing in Charleston.. were we are buying in what was 100% minority area and once called the hood.. and paying 100 to 150k for tear downs or lots.. and selling new homes at 400 to 700k.... and of course there is a huge social impact and talk from the minority owners saying they are losing their homes and culture to all this redevelopment.. but then again those that own the homes.. 10 years ago you would be selling these dilapidated homes and bare lots for 10 to 30k each now they are all over 100k.. so the owners are getting a nice cash out price.Most of what I buy there tends to be handed down.. there is a ton of Title issues though in those areas... so a lot of what you see can't be bought and it can't be occupied homes are in that bad of shape.. so one by one.. blocks are changing.. and some say for the better some say not.

Others may disagree, and our culture likes to point out the rare story of the guy who turned 25$ into a million, but those stories are INCREDIBLY RARE.

Main downside is temporary house culture.

I know that the true source of it comes from pop culture(the news, movies, TV shows, cartoons, music, etc....all forms of brainwashing) divide and conquer is real.....
