That fits Salisbury to a T. No doubt Day & Co. are trying their damnedest to wreck Salisbury. Could it be there's an ulterior motive like maybe trying to get governmental grant money once the town goes south enough. All his buddies could then parachute out with that money, dump the properties and head to Florida. They can wash their hands and show a profit. How can you not show a profit if you let the government buy back at a subprime but well over $5,000. Bam profit. It would make sense.

Furthermore, owners of those $1 rowhouses were required to spend an additional $100K (min) within a two-year period (big money then) to rehab, working within a quasi-HOA guideline for their historic preservation. Additionally, they had to be owner-occupied, not rentals open to the general public. How do I know this? I looked into buying a couple with the hopes of merging them. <br /><br />Conversely, commercial space has a whole different dynamic than residential doesn't. As any commercial realtor will tell you, these dynamics tend to be more stringent and cost prohibitive for the average weekend fixer-upper Home Depot warrior. In some cases, there's also is a guaranteed occupancy on finished projects with set deadlines in place for said occupancy to begin; apparently, these two properties appear to have - as well as the Feldman's building. <br /><br />Second, you're giving Day & Company way too much credit where it's unwarranted. Day didn't broker those sales, Ireton did. Note: Day wasn't mayor until November 2015. Both sales occurred in September/December 2013. Additionally, it can be a way to churn property (like stock) for large returns - at the taxpayers' expense in the end. <br /><br />Of course, we won't know anything until someone has the guts to come forth and spill the beans on the inner-workings of the deal. Assuredly, I shant be holding my breath for that to happen in the near future - especially without a court order involved in it somehow.Thornton Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277155610999060696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31586983.post-84204000241612224822017-07-02T09:44:37.362-04:002017-07-02T09:44:37.362-04:00The population in the bury is comprised of their l...The population in the bury is comprised of their leaders and mostly Serfs ( the low class social class ) who must love the leaders.
