I hear the proximity to the airport, being near Lake Wylie, and less rush hour traffic are the main motivators drawing in the speculative investor.  

, unfortunately that is not the case, I see many of you on this site looking for deals in big cities and other properties that just aren't going to preform as well when the next crash happens (Biiiiiig Speculation), but in all honesty if your not investing in areas where the majority of the population collects a paycheck every month for the next 4-6 years without fear of a stock price or layoffs then your request on the forums seems a little pointless.

When I was driving around it was rough, police were out though a lot but it was rough.And a speculation:1- With the soccer stadium going in near it, the neighborhood's location between the 2 metros, and the low price to enter for young millennial's, do you think this will change the neighborhood?

I think some of the challenges you're going to have speculating appreciation with a new build in UT county are (and this is my skeptic side, so take this with a bit of a sarcastic tone - and sorry, I just re-read this and it's long... ):Lot sizes are ridiculously tiny - you're not going to find a lot of availability of a spacious lots (or any size lot) for a reasonable price.  

It is also in a speculative neighborhood with many new private and city projects breaking ground. 

Then, over a few year period, people started getting foreclosed on and the market became saturated with homes (the supply went way up to more than exceed demand) therefore the prices came crashing down.Investors who were hurt the most were speculative investors or those who were building during the crash.

You can speculate all day long why things are the way they are, but at the end of the day that's all it is..

No one can know ,it is all speculation .

The really low income areas is more of gambling and speculating and sometimes no matter what the tax benefit is looking like it is not worth owning in those areas.I personally like A to B areas because they tend to hold up better in an economic down turn.

Without seeing the agreements it's speculation on the next best step.
