Why Selling a Home in the “Inner City” Can Be a Challenge

I came across this one at at Carter’s Adventure, a blog billed as “Life as a Young Real Estate Investor in Baltimore” that had me rolling on the ground. I grew up in an area that had many of these same issues in New York and could relate…

Me: “So, are you ready to get this deal done?”

Buyer: “Well… we were, but I drove by the house yesterday with my partner and we witnessed a drug deal right in front.”

Me: “Like, right in front of the house, or on the corner?”

Buyer: “No, right in front of the house. The guy pulled up in a car, handed over some money, and another guy ran over and gave him the drugs.”

Me: “Well, you see, that’s the funny thing about Baltimore.. Some neighborhoods… Really, it’s normal; I wouldn’t worry about it too much.”

…  Read the conclusion at Carter’s Adventure.
