Hi all, Throughout every low income neighborhood you encounter, you’re going to realize a few truths about the people that live there. You will always have neighbors that are working very hard in life (2 or 3 jobs even) to make money and take care of themselves. And there are ALWAYS people who are deadbeats, not working, not contributing anything to society or the neighborhood except frustration and anger at your investment lowering a little. And, this may sound weird, but I am happy to see this. I am happy to see that in these neighborhoods, there are people there trying to do their part to fight the unacceptable, that even in the craziest neighborhoods there are as many job opportunities as people can take advantage of. Yes, the people who hang out on their porch cause me frustration (it doesn’t leave the best impressions for potential tenants), but I know that my views are shared by the neighbor busting their butts off to make ends meet.
This also determines my hiring strategy if I have some of the local neighbors help out with minor work details (remember, if you pay them under $600, you don’t need to 1099 them).
Enjoy!
