I came to a nice investment for this up and coming year…. And that is to buy me a home. Now it is not buying a home that is the hassel; it is finding a nice neighborhood so I know that I am not investing into the plight of crime. Now I would get all Linclon Heights and invest in a home in a run down neighborhood where you can get shot at getting shot at (I know corny, but that is a Chris Rock statement….well sort of). The main point is that many people, of any race, leaves neighborhoods because of that. So today I am going to give you my Ace to home-guide to house hunting. Trust me, you will like to get a pen and a pad for this one.
Not all all-black neighborhoods are dangerous and not all all white neighborhoods are safe- I have been to both sides of this. I know people talk about mortgages and taxes, but when it is said and done. I rather live in a neighborhood where flashing lights means the Ice Cream man is coming.
If you have a something old that you want to get rid of, there are many ways to do instead of leaving it at your house. - That also includes cars that are not running. I am sorry, that sink the value worst than Lehman Bros. stocks. Which leads to……….
If you see any neighborhood where a house has something old in their front or back yard; LEAVE and don’t look back. - I do feel my Caucasian-American friends on this one. I just can’t wake up and the first thing I see in my front yard is a 88 Chrysler LeBaron that look like it has been at the Chop Shop. That leads me to…….
Run down homes = Crime infested Areas – Think about it. Do Drug Lords stay in run down homes. No, but they will use them to their advantage. That is not White Flight, but it is Blight Flight.
If you have nosey neighbors, make sure they tell you who was trying to break in your homes instead of what you are doing in your homes. – I had a neighbor who knew everybody business instead of who is robbing us. Needless to say she got robbed while she was at home. Felt sorry for her, but it is karma. That is the advantage of Neighborhood watch.
Your Neighbor = extended family no matter what – Sure, you might not like their views, their means of saying things, but come on what family do not have that.
The 2nd Amendment works…..AT TIMES- Make sure the robbers and other bad-whole-asses know that your presence is felt, but guns is not always the answer. Security systems do the trick also because it is seriously loud and obnoxious. No robber wants to hear that alarm. That is hearing that guy from Dumb and Dumber.
Use the chain of command to express your issues with the neighborhood as a whole, if they do not listen, MOVE AWAY FROM THAT PLACE. – Don’t believe me, asked any urban city or town that has now gone down to shambles and their mayor is wondering why they are not receiving funding due to other counties jacking them up for people. Living in the county really does work.
Do you have any words of wisdoms or experiences of house hunting or looking in the housing market?
