I believe it is a long, historical cultural issue - people in Appalachia were treated poorly, worked like dogs and discarded when unneeded and learned that it makes no sense to work hard because it gets you nowhere. 2.

You can make it work here, just need to be creative and willing to forego the cultural standards of instant gratification.

=) My expectations: Mentor (with specialty in rental investments) Flexibility to work with agents who have full time jobsNetwork opportunity (make long lasting friendships)Great brokerage culture

All of the reasons we love Huntsville as a real estate investment remain true regardless of current events - employment opportunities, low barrier of entry for investors, culture, diverse economy, etc.

For the last 15 years, as head of the city’s Office of Historic Resources, Bernstein in his new book shows off some of L.A.’s 1,200 designated Historic-Cultural Monuments and explains how preservation has propelled the city forward while respecting its past.

Ethical issues are best evaluated in the context of the culture and the time.

FSBO is going to work out in lower price-points and maybe someday with millennials if they ever start buying (but that may be 10-15 years down the line with current studies, their debt to income ratios etc) because they culturally use their phones for everything and that's cool and interesting and agents will adjust to this culture (we've been studying this for years at tech conferences). 

The story of the city is block by block with each neighborhood a micro culture.

Now that the Chinese own 45% - 55% of Detroit it only makes sense to buy there.

Hell, major Chinese investors are helping fund the SW Waterfront revitalization project which includes billions of investment dollars.
