"What is happening to property in your neighborhood?” Flyer
Description
This flyer from the Human Relations Commission warns Ann Arbor residents about multiple schemes designed to push residents to sell their properties and offers resources for getting accurate financial advice. One ploy mentioned involved a local landlord who was increasingly buying houses in the North Central Area, an act of gentrification which began changing the value of homes in the neighborhood (see “Related Item(s)” for more).
