LET’S RALLY TO PURCHASE COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Pooling Black Dollars

We’re spearheading our next MAJOR move with Buy Back The Block movement, which will consist of over 1000 individuals raising over $1 million to Buy The Block. As a result, the facility will become 100% owned by the community members who support it. Construction will begin in April 2018, with a $600 thousand renovation that includes 11 retail spaces, office space and apartments. The development plans to reopen in June 2019 as a retail building for the Dayton, Oh community.

Before converting it to a retail building, the 87-year-old building is sitting empty. Once this door of opportunity opens up, it will allow those of us who are conscious about legacy and generational wealth to say, ‘What are we going to do differently?’ Buying Commercial Properties is next phase in the exciting journey.

Lynn, who is leading the charge for Buying Back The Block is targeting, educating, qualifying, and coordinating the efforts to attract African Americans into real estate investment. “I started doing some research on commercial real estate ownership and found that in our country, the average net worth for African Americans is $6,000 compared to $120,000 for whites,” “I couldn’t find virtually any African Americans who owned commercial property in downtown Dayton, Oh. We have a chance to redevelop a building, an important property in our urban core.”

While the world of commercial real estate continues to be “dominated by wealthy white our efforts will demonstrate how our capital can be applied to the commercial real estate sector.

SOLUTIONS: BuyBackTheBlock

Buy Back The Block and Stop Gentrification.

The vision we all share at BuyBackTheBlock is to change investing from confusing and frustrating, to an accessible and enjoyable social experience. This is not what is currently obtainable, and as such we want to create a new generation of connected investors who feel informed, empowered, and confident.

We believe the current options aren’t meeting the expectations of the next generation. We are developing an accessible, collaborative, friendly and fun investing environment for both new and experienced investors. Our efforts provide a seamless and secure solution that empowers people to spend together in a way that has never happened till now.

Your contribution will help us complete the purchase of this property, rehab and host the block party. Also, it will help you buy a piece of your first block! Incredible to hear, but true.

Features:

The property is a two-story building with 11 retail units fronting N Main street, the main road leading to Downtown Dayton which is only about 1.5 miles away.

The retails units cover the whole of the first floor of the building and have store windows at the front facing the Main Street and access to the parking lot at the back for goods delivery and parking.

The upper floor has about 12,250 sq ft and is currently laid out as offices and one apartment.

The property has a large basement.

The brick building is situated on a corner lot and has several architectural features.

Potential for conversion of the upper floor into apartments.

Property condition: The property needs rehab to get ready for renting. Some units require little work mostly cleaning and painting and some repairs, while others need more work, with drywall and ceiling repairs.

The plumbing and electrics are working in most units, and the water and electrics are connected.

Some storefronts need little work to rent out, and as each store is separate, the rehab may be planned so work can concentrate on the units that require the least work to start getting cash flow from renting them out.

Location: The property is very close to the center of Dayton and all amenities; it has a long frontage on Main St, one of the mains gateways into Downtown Dayton which is only about 1.5 miles away from the property, making this location very convenient to anyone who works in Downtown Dayton.

Today the city offers many great attractions and historical sites, fantastic arts venues, a thriving Downtown, beautiful parks, a variety of sporting sites and fabulous shopping and dining.

The property has easy access from Interstate 75, Salem Avenue and from Downtown through Main Street.

PROPERTY IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS- with clear title.

What is a Block Party?

Neighborhood block parties are a fun way to meet neighbors, build friendships, and develop a sense of belonging and security among residents.

We will be shutting down to traffic, and block off the road for the first annual neighborhood block party. Aside from all the fun, we’ll have, BTB members will have full access to become vendors, sponsors and promote their brand in the most massive street festival. We look forward to meeting you and helping us increase educating our community about impact development and investing.
