I agree with Craig Miller about the benefits of neighbors renovating and
re-hab'ing rental properties near them. It is a way to both stabilize an area
and to offer economic opportunties to residents. I have been successful with
this on my block. I moved here in 1982 to what was then called "low-income"
development (today we'd call it an "affordable ownership", which I prefer)
and have since improved my economic position by buying and tending rental
property.
I would like to hear more about programs in other n'hoods that encouraged
this kind of development. I think one thing lacking is a comprehensive
property ownership/management training program and/or ongoing resource for
n'hood org's and inexperienced landlords. I've seen bits and pieces of
programs to help - like CCP/SAFE's landlord training. Does anyone know of a
more comprehensive program?
Yours,
