@athousandyoung saidYes, there are many reasons people might sell to these people and of other ages. I get letters, text often wanting me to sell. If these tactics didn’t work they wouldn’t be doing it.
Just cold call old people all day. A small percentage will be senile or desperate.

@mike69 saidSure. It's a house vs home thing. I appreciate that point. The benefit of gentrification goes to the investor who cashes out his house, at the expense of the resident who wants to remain in their home.
You still have to look at it as an investment and be smart about buying if you plan on staying there and being able to enjoy the things mentioned. Just about all of the houses I’ve done have been in foreclosure or short sale like the one I’m doing now. The house I raised my children in was bought off the courthouse steps in a auction.

@wildgrass saidI don’t live in a city, and don’t see it here but sure it’s on the way. With that said I don’t have much experience in this direction but sure lumping them into one group when individuals could have many other reasons also for having or wanting to do this isn’t necessarily fair in judging either.

As far as here, the small town I live in, the area was a lot cheaper and now very high and my taxes are way up. An acre of land was 8 to 10k now over 100k along with housing increased. On the other hand a grocery store would be nice, a few restaurants , better roads, schools etc. I understand somewhat because finding somewhere else to live as cheap after selling would be very difficult. Within a mile all the homes being built in an addition are 650,000. and up on a acre. The thing is people have to take responsibility for their own lives, plan, be smart, look ahead, figure problems out and not be a part of the problem. When I was married we always stayed within one or our incomes in case one lost their job and many other things.

If someone lives in a neighborhood where property values are skyrocketing, and they were intending to stay in that house long term, gentrification is not a good thing.

@wildgrass saidAdapt and overcome, figure it out. Is it your right to stop progress or them from coming in return because you don’t like it or the outcomes. That’s life, i bought a place to live as they are with personal risk.

@athousandyoung saidIf you really believed it were so easy, you'd do it yourself and not post about how other people can do it on an Internet forum.

@wildgrass saidThen pivot and sell for a big profit.

And I don't have the stomach to J- OOPS I mean SCREW people over like that.
You need to understand the cultural difference here - Mammon is a devil in white people culture. Some other cultures celebrate Mammon because the word 'Mammon' is Semitic for 'Wealth and Riches'.

There has been growing tension in Lakewood and surrounding communities with residents complaining of predatory real estate practices, which they've compared to the "blockbusting" that started with the Great Migration in 1910, when real estate agents pressured white homeowners to sell their properties at a cheap rate and then inflated the prices and sold them to black buyers in desperate need of housing.
In recent years, residents in these Ocean County communities have complained that they have been harassed and pressured to sell their homes to Jewish families that want to move in or around Lakewood because of its Kosher markets, Yeshivas and temples. Toms River earlier this year banned real estate solicitation in two areas of the town for five years in reaction to residents' complaints.

@mike69 saidYes of course bad things happen. You argue with no one here.

@averagejoe1 saidTHANK YOU.
Quite illogical, that corps charge more, when in fact they MAKE more stuff, on an assembly line basis, making it cheaper to make., so the prices can be low for that very reason.
Regarding their 'driving up cost of goods..." certainly you know that when they incur more expense, ESPecially govt taxes, they simply pass it on to the consumer. It is not the corp who is actually charging you , they are simply passing their extra expense (i.e. taxes,) on to you. Dude.
They bring prices down , not up.
Prior poster had some kind of libtard backwards reasoning.

@mike69 saidLib's don't get risk. It conflicts with their concept of 'safety nets'. With all due respects to Marauder, who is a great proponent of safety nets (and who knows what else), I think that he end most of you have Never used the word 'risk' in a sentence.
