A Novel Approach To Boosting Property Values
A team approach to improving a neighborhood while getting a good return on investment.
"In 1996, David Frayne, now Affinity's head of research and development, rallied friends and family to buy property in Oakland, Calif., where real estate was cheap compared to prices in San Francisco. He thought they stood a better chance of improving their property values by buying in the same neighborhood and fixing up their houses at the same time....Affinity focuses on buying undervalued property, fixing it up and selling it for a profit."
