the homes were bought by people who were actually going to live
in them, as opposed to the ones purchased by the
investors/future slum lords…      Thanks, good info, I know
where to look now if I actually want to live in my house as
opposed to buying it out from under some nice family and rent it
to someone who will trash it in two years..
