I am currently a retire after some 20+ years from the real estate risk evaluation field.
Hello group. My concerns are with the displaced family here in the USA. I have been working on a project to purchase a small town that would offer a safe haven for the remaining family members. From my experience of working thousands of miles away from my family and my main concern was always the safety. I relocated my family to the safest city I could find with low crime rate, good school district and moved my family there. The main reason for taking out of state jobs was because there was little employment opportunity in the state I lived in in my field of work. My job assignments took me from one state to another and for said reason I could not have brought my wife and children with me.

This decision allowed me to perform my job just fine.

I have found a small town of less than 300 resident that for sale with 7well establish ongoing businesses establish since the late 1960’s. The seller is I her 80’s, widowed and wants to sell. Seller willing to carry back a mortgage with 50% down payment. Problems is that there is a need to bring new businesses into this town located on a major highway and craters to traveling tourist and gambling resort Southwest city.

I believe that I can build on the existing businesses and create a new company to employ the displaced family. There is ample vacant land of approximately 400 acres to allow for the building of commercial and or residential properties.
