        That’s honestly what’s been happening. When we were shopping around there, I’d been seeing neighborhoods being fixed up one by one by contractors, because you’ve been able to buy places for literally $1k, and have been selling for $250k. It’s pretty wild to see, especially when some of these neighborhoods get completely gentrified and suddenly all the houses jump up another $100k. You’ll see a neighborhood of houses that might have a couple sales for $20-50k, and then 1-2 of the renovated ones selling for ~$200k, and literally on the other side of the road those exact same homes are going for $300-400k.
