I've considered driving for dollars but don't know how to target specific neighborhoods in my price range.

Also if I meet with a seller who calls me from my marketing and they have a perfectly nice home in a great neighborhood  the first thing I tell them is that they can get top dollar from the sale of their home with a realtor, and they most likely don't need to sell to me, because I will have to buy at a price where I can make money on the deal. 

However, I am priced out of all the nicer and desirable neighborhoods (Want to stay under 450K) . 

I’ve been “working” driving Lyft and shopping with Shipt and being a field rep for RP Field.

The property is located in Florida (In case that makes a difference) and does reside in an association area/neighborhood.

At the moment my wife and I are looking to purchase our first home (a fixer upper) in a nice neighborhood but the home has foundation issues such as leaning walls, cracked bricks, etc.

Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

Office buildings are less sensitive to consumer demand than shopping malls, while hotels, with their short, seasonal stays and reliance on business and tourism travel, pose far more risk than either apartments or office.3.

Option two: flip the OC house and take that cash to invest in a class B neighborhood.

What are everyone’s thoughts on  how businesses closing will impact the neighborhoods in your city?
