I visited the neighbors yesterday to introduce myself, find out about them and briefly discuss the easement/alley and parking. I'll be excited if they consider me a part of their little community.
Self-Help is a community development lender/real estate developer who assists folks underserved by conventional markets. Since 1980, as a non-profit, they have assisted female, rural and minority borrowers to build wealth through ownership of home or business. They were part of the early redevelopment of Asheville, NC. I love Asheville and trust Self-Help's presence in Durham will have similar positive results.
(thus endeth my first commercial interlude)
Self-Help owns every piece of property on the block except for my 308westmain. EVERY other piece. They also own the art-deco'ish building across the street that I will look upon from my front windows. They manage the waste removal since the city doesn't service the block. They own all the parking spaces near and adjoining my building. And they own the structure that currently "impedes" access to a rear portion of my building that is currently slated to become a door (see Easement). Self-Help is my big brother.
I wonder if I should bake them brownies......
