power properties

I was recently reading about a company in Dallas that has purchased over 600 dilapidated properties and renovated them for resale. That's a pretty impressive feat and a respectable move for a real estate organization. While some might scream "gentrification", it is much better than builders that come in and bulldoze historic properties to create strip-malls and faux-historic condos in "New Urbanist" style.

The company is called Power Properties, and you should check them out if you happen to live in the Dallas area, would like to live closer to downtown, but can't fathom the idea of restoring a historic home on your own. Personally, I've been having enough trouble restoring our home from the early 1990s, so I cannot even imagine the tasks involved in restoring something that is forty, sixty, or even a hundred years old! Kudos to Power Properties for preserving these homes and reviving the community.
