Tipping Neighborhoods

Success in Overland!

Sorry I haven't posted since 2006.  Wow!, that's ten years which is a little longer than I expected it would take to tip a neighborhood.

The neighborhood I chose was immediately southwest of Broadway and Evans in Denver, CO 80223.

Now they are starting to call it "SoBo".  I admit that some of the new money flowing into the area is due to the legalization of marijuana.

Stay tuned for the next target neighborhood, I'm sure it won't take 10 years this time.

Tipping Neighborhoods means to:

1. Find a shabby neighborhood that appears to be in the natural inevitable path of gentrification.
2. Somehow purchase and get a large percentage of the homes spruced up and rented.
3. Join the neighborhood group to meet and encourage your neighbors to reinvest in their homes.
4. Watch as the neighborhood "tips" toward respectability and higher values.
5. Make a lot of money without being viewed as a "greedy developer".
