I'd be happy to give you a more in depth explanation if you want to send me a chat!

One person is extrapolating out the depths of the inner city to the entire market as far as long term viability for investment, when the other person is actually considering A/B neighborhood buy and hold. 

Feel free to reach out and we can talk more in-depth to see what the options might be. 

Yes, i could see manipulations of various price gouging regulations in place, to try and cap what such could ascend.

Are there any resources (books, etc) you recommend to learn more in depth about this topic?

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.2.

Lastly, invest in advanced courses and resources that go beyond surface-level information, seeking specialized training in foreclosure investing that covers in-depth strategies and risk management.

its a lot to go in depth on
