The inhabitants will want to see that their cultural history is preserved, that "Big Box" retailers and business do not take over their home town or overthrow the small business that define the area, and that ultimately they are not displaced to make room for the capitalist world.I'm not really sure what to expect in regards to when East Oakland will see major changes or an influx of investors, but it is sure to happen in areas with access to major modes of transportation, most importantly BART, and where there is potential to develop deteriorated homes and infrastructure, ultimately drawing in investors such as ourselves!

Regulations and lack of transportation infrastructure will keep the prices in central neighborhoods very high.

Montgomery County, NoVa, DC, Howard County....chances are that by holding properties in these areas, as well as say high demand areas of NYC, Boston, San Fran (I've owned in Boston too) will make you far more money in the long run.

I live in Boston area, but had taken a number of trips through Springfield and felt comfortable investing there.

Find someone doing some dirt work local , transportation of the dirt is the big expense
