Broadway Cuthbert Harewood has lived in Liberty City his entire life. He bought his first property in 1987 and still lives in the community with a few properties on Broadway Avenue.

Every single day, his phone rings.

“I get a minimum of 30 calls,” Harewood said.

Investors and house flippers are all looking to buy. Harewood said some don’t even bother checking what his properties are worth before dialing.
