Yes, I have spent time in two of the locations they sell in. At one time the areas used to be middle class african american neighborhoods. That's why the houses look alright in photos. Do a drive by in google. The manufacturing and industry jobs have left and there is a huge sucking hole in these suburbs which will not heal.

Unreliable renters are all that is left, in addition, they are quite segmented in these cities, so other ethnic groups will not rent in entirely african american suburbs.

1 surefire scam alert is how they are marketing the opportunity to obtain a visa for your entire family "to live the American Dream" if you buy a home through them, invest $500,000 in a company "they manage" and then live in the "hood".

The sad thing is that this is an AUSSIE company that is selling houses to unsuspecting AUSSIE investors. They do everything so you cannot sue them. Eventually, to sell in these suburbs, it will take ages. DO NOT RECOMMEND.
