    I came across this by accident, and I am so impressed with this guy who would work for free just to learn. I wish there were so many more men like him, willing to work hard and see a future worth developing.

  • @ronaldgreenjr1423
    @ronaldgreenjr1423 Před rokem +1

    "Affordable" housing is a buzzword that developers use to garner support from the black community. But in order to cashflow, these large development projects must attract market rates for every door 🚪. That means most of the units (if not all) will remain unaffordable by the current demographic. That's when you begin to see a large influx of new people with more money who will change the local demographic. That's not really what black people need. We need to work to control our local economy. Not knocking this man, but he needs to be more transparent.

    • @ronaldgreenjr1423
      @ronaldgreenjr1423 Před rokem

      @J Jordan I'm saying the term "Affordable" is used as a buzzword when communicating to the black community. It's no different than saying "Minority Assistance" or "Urban Development". In actuality, no these units are not affordable for the black community. They are aren't even affordable for the white community or Hispanic community. They target the international community who move here and are given business funding to turnover the historic demographic of the community. These developers are attracted to the huge returns they get by buying cheap properties in poor sections of the city and raising the value of the surrounding properties by bringing in big box businesses and shopping centers.

    As a day trader myself, I've found that the biggest payoff isn't the stuff, but the time and flexibility of life choices. I've also found that you become more of a realist when you invest since have to always discipline yourself to not be deceived by your own biases. Having an expert to guide regardless of the outcome is more important than trading by yourself- I agree vehemently that with John Adams your investment winning rate will increase
