Now I look at the place and beat myself up for having so much money sunk into it and a long-term tenant I should probably get rid of but who I'm sure can't find another affordable place to live in within the area and keep sending her children to the same high school in the district.

I read on the area and It seems like a mini Wynwood (Miami Art District) or Williamsburg up here in Brooklyn.

When I went to take my test at the government building in the Financial District I was solicited with business cards and flyers by a couple of professionals representing firms, but I am wary of pursuing cold promoters in this fashion.I was curious, other than googling reviews, is there a smart way to vet which organization I may want to "park" my license at?

at least as it relates to distribution centers  we see no effect maybe the landlords do for sure.. but us new homebuilders I have not sold one home to a Amazonian.. and we are 2 miles from the facility in the best school district and have the least expensive new construction at 430k per house. for 2200 sq ft on 5k sq ft lot. 

Are they in a historic district?

They either want it or they don't.The 50 or so units that I own that are closest to the stadium and Five Points (bar district) are much easier to rent than better, nicer houses that are even just a 5-10 blocks away.

Tons of money is being invested in constructing a sports district and a mega town center nearby. 

.; too rural/too urban; neighboring uses detrimental to the property's value, e.g. railroad, warehousing/industrial district, jail/prison, cemetery, etc.I hope that helps!

I scoped the area and it is not the best but is close to school and our downtown district. 

Hi everyone,Are there any resources/web sites that I can zoom in with common search criteria like good school district, crime status, growth forecast, historical sale, etc.. ?
