West Village Renovations

[bust]

The Kercheval corridor from Mt Elliott through McClellan is about to explode. I am looking to invest in Islandview right now. Pretty soon it will be unrecognizable.

That's what I've been hoping, and once Lafayette Park prices got up closer to where they should be, then Eastern Market, was considering myself.
But I couldn't sustain the risk, nor could I convince my wife.
How could I? My pitch was half-hearted, she sensed that. I didn't disagree.
In retrospect, and from an investment standpoint, it was early. But who could've predicted the last few years? Not me.
I hope you're right, and the time is now.
When investors come who invest themselves by living there too, critical mass will occur.
Real folks create real value in real estate.
Vultures in it for the flip-- invested only as an investment, disinterested in the community-- don't make good neighbors.
A good neighborhood is key to real estate value, and a good neighborhood a disinterested investor does not create.
