The Florida housing market was undeniably affected by the impact of economic downturn. But stories about the real people who felt the blunt force-need to adapt can seem buried beneath a mountain of financial jargon and political blame games.
John Carney multitasks, looking for homes to buy.
One might think seeking business opportunities in such dire times, particularly in such hard-hit areas like the Florida housing market, would seem wrong somehow. Consider this, though. Lives and economies do not turn around by themselves. It is through the adaptability, foresight and sometimes sheer determination that we manage to pull ourselves back up when we’ve hit rock bottom. Opportunities exist because leaders among us are looking for ways to plow through, and they make sound decisions that help rebuild families and businesses. Carney’s business is driven to improve the community around him, and he’s using his expertise to to this in the best way he knows how.

Carney Properties buys, renovates and sells homes, predominately in the southwest Florida market, that have been abandoned, foreclosed or otherwise victimized by the economic circumstances. People have lost their homes and neighborhoods are suffering as well. Carney buys them with cash and puts his heart and soul into making them livable and finance-worthy again. As one commenter, who calls him or herself “happybutterfly1,” points out, “These are homes that would likely sit empty and continue to lower the value of the homes around them. Most of these foreclosed homes cannot be purchased by the average Joe since there isn’t a bank in the world that would provide financing in the condition that the former owners have left them in. He is simply purchasing the homes, fixing them up and selling them at an affordable price to families that will be able to receive financing.”
