As they build high price home in your community, the value of property increases, taxes and insurance through the roof, makes it hard to keep your homes for those who are on a fix income. Ask FL residents 🤔
Yes, and it’s happened more than once in Florida. In the 60s so many seniors were taxed out of their homes because of real,estate speculation. I can recall some very pitiful stories from that time. Many with health and mental issue didn’t even understand what was happening and had their homes confiscated and were put on the street.
I get multiple calls from all over the country, tons of junkmail, even door to door salespeople to try to get me to sell my house. Its insane. Theres rrally no way to develop for my neighborhood, just big companies trying to own tons of rentals and drive the costs up
Not that simple. As Home prices go up property taxes go up as well. Even if those people dont sell they may not be able to afford the higher property taxes thus forcing them out anyway.
So do this, pass out flyers to the WHOLE neighborhood, explaining the GENTRIFICATION SCHEMES. In the flyers, explain that they are being targeted to sale valuable assets fro dirt cheap. Teach & Inform! The city also needs to cut out the raising of property taxes & levying fines, to these FIXED income elders. That is how they PRESSURE them to sale. The city is in concert witht these predatory INVESTORS & DEVELOPERS.
Funny how 11 Alive ran this story but shows no less than 30 Mark Spain Real Estate commercials daily. “The cash offer is designed to take the stress out of selling your home”
@@eattherich9215 The sameway reason why the company you work for or the business you have doesn't buy its product at market value and then resell it for market value. The numbers just don't work.
The phone calls and text to me about selling, have slowed, I'm in Philly. I said "This is predatory behavior. I'm thinking about complaining to the attorney generals office." I meant that!
Atlanta needs to pass ordinances and laws to protect historically black neighborhoods from predators. And have the law say that they have to pay market value for their homes. If not, they need to go to jail and their company should be closed because what they’re doing is illegal and unethical.
🙄 The people doing this are from out of town. Trust me, and the people wanting to live, there are from out of town as well. I am from Atlanta, born in the 60s and raised. I would not live nowhere near over there.
These communities should come together and agree not to sell unless everyone in the community agrees to sell to one buyer! That is how you protect your communities from gentrification. And if everyone agrees to sell, name your price! Another option is for black folks in the community to work together and upgrade your homes in the community to reflect the home price transition if you can. I have a friend who bought her home by east lake golf course in the early 1990's for under 200,000. The homes in the area now go for 850,000 and up. She took her small house and upgrade it. Now it's worth just as much or more. She will not be gentrifried out of her community!
In Austin Texas I saw a black man on his porch all the time! a month later the house was being Renovated and then I saw on the News what was happening! they were Buying up properties and making Lofts!. Closer commute to downtown for the Millennials!.
The only houses that should be targeted is Vacant deteriorating houses that brings down the community the property values. Which causes rodents, Crime,Etc. there should be a purpose in real estate and that to make the community better ❤
The houses aren't becoming more valuable, money is becoming less valuable. If you priced your house in gold ounces, you will see that from purchase to sale houses are actually becoming cheaper in alot of markets.
I am so sick of these tactics however why does it appear our community not no anything? I don't believe that many of these people don't know the value of their homes no matter what age they are. Where are there kids to help with this?Age does not mean you are aware of the world around you. So they live in a bubble and never read or watch news ? I would imagine it would have to be a very low percentage of these types of home purchases too. Education and knowledge does not age.I see many in our community that don't try to be informed about anything and leave it to "Whyte Jesus ".
Thats What They Want Us To Think As If We Don’t Know Whats Up But Unfortunately We Do And Our Homes And Neighborhoods Aren't For Sale We Will Treat Our Neighborhoods Just Like They Treat The Suburbs And The Woods Side eyes I’m Related To A Few Real Estate Agents So Not Everyone Can Be Fooled And Know Real Estate Very Well So Don't Be So Quick To Judge A Book By Its Cover💯🤷🏾♀️💯
People are making offers and no one has to sell. Predatory is quite a stretch. The fact people are coming to your house, calling, and mailing you offers tells you your house is in demand. I'm in ATL and I get that BS everyday too.
But a grandmother might need $25,000 or $35,000 for a house then investors can move in a smoothie king or sushi restaurant. These old folks don’t have the money or time left in life for upkeep on those old houses. Have you been in some lately? Sell it and buy it all.
I agree. I'm a home health nursing assistant and most of the homes I go into are so outdated, falling apart. Most peolple have no clue what it is like to help a 80-90 year old use the bathroom who can barely walk or stand without assistance of a walkerin a bathroom that is not quite four wide. With inflation, high prices, and severe nursing/nursing aide shortage, older folks might be quick to sell just because they need money
@@amandawhisnant2270, I feel your pain. Seems like the longer we live the more it costs. Being sick and unhealthily. A lot of us are paying for that lifestyle when we get older.
@@amandawhisnant2270I'm sure they would rather be at home than to be at a nursing home... You don't have to work in that profession, get another job...
It's not about the skin tone. It's about the land value, zoning, and the overall market. If a developer sees green, they do not care what color your nanna is. Enough with the race hustle.

I agree and DONT SELL!!!
Insurance and taxes are in the game with them😈
Or at least sell to families or individuals but they keep selling to these investment companies because they want their money quicker.

Don't sell. You won't be able to buy a home in another city.
@@purdysanchez sure WON'T
The fix is easy, don't sell your property.

Education is the key. The churches could get involved by having a speaker after the Sunday service.
He works with who? He’s one of them. I’ve seen this before. Rerun.

The cash offer is a pisstake. Why not offer market value?
@@eattherich9215 The sameway reason why the company you work for or the business you have doesn't buy its product at market value and then resell it for market value. The numbers just don't work.
This is not an Atlanta thing. These companies are targeting senior citizens all across Georgia and America.
The phone calls and text to me about selling, have slowed, I'm in Philly. I said "This is predatory behavior. I'm thinking about complaining to the attorney generals office." I meant that!
Girl they text my sister in TX about my property 🙄
@@lieaorganasolo use my reply. They'll stop.

Amen 🙏🏾❤️ thank you for speaking out!
How do you stop someone from spending money to purchase something? Those with the money purchase at any price, they get what their money allows.
These people are not buying a fair or market value price. They are getting valuable real estate [the land] cheaply.
Shattered by people who arent sure why they even want to move here.
Please don't sell your HOME, your LIFELINE, LEGACY, GENERATIONAL WEALTH🙏🏾
Fight fight fight!

Don't rent houses... when predators can't make a profit, they'll sell them. Unfortunately, people use airbnb and rent them all the time...
Thank you
My left ear loved this report

It's not about the skin tone. It's about the land value, zoning, and the overall market. If a developer sees green, they do not care what color your nanna is. Enough with the race hustle.
Then why isn’t this happening in a majority white community???
@@Freedomofspeechisajoke Oh it is. It is happening everywhere developers and real estate wholesalers see dollar signs.
@@user-dw1ls3rp1l Naw, because these people are too busy gentrifying other people’s neighborhoods for this to be happening in theirs.
