ERIC’S APPROACH TO DEVELOPMENT:
“Your average home flippers are looking to spend the least amount of money possible to maximize their profit margin. I try to find homes that I can put as much work into as possible. I’m looking for homes with character that are really rundown, so that I could try to preserve and restore them.
We’re phasing out slumlord options and making a massive effort to preserve the architectural integrity of these neighborhoods. We use products that are specific to the era and try to highlight the architectural features still present in the properties.”
“Invest DSM enables people like me to do proper work and not leave anything unaddressed.”
HOW THE PROGRAM CREATES AFFORDABLE HOUSING
“The public, private, and nonprofit sectors working in tandem are producing tangible results. It’s literally revitalizing the neighborhoods.
The way for neighborhoods to move up and to have more affordable housing is to create new options for people so they can move out of their existing homes, which provides more options for the next person and the next person down the line.”
