Flipping property in a neighborhood not merely for the purpose of profit, but with a priority of improving the neighborhood.
One who does this would be a "benevolent flipper."

Some slumlord offered John $20k for his house, but he sold it to the city for $17k so it would be a rainwater garden instead of yet another North Minneapolis crack house. It's called "benevolent flipping."

Get the benevolent dictator mug.As far as many people are concerned the benevolent bitch is stuck up, arrogant, condescending, and always finding fault with everything. Intimidating and ruthless they are frequently supported by a group of people who believe this person can do no wrong.
However, to a lesser few the benevolent is only someone who has strong morals and high expectations – for themselves as well as everyone else! They believe in blunt honesty and in most cases won’t compliment you by telling you what you want to hear unless they believe you are truly deserving of such praise.
Unfortunately it is extremely difficult to tell the difference between a benevolent bitch and an actual bitch, unless willing to judge them based solely on your own experiences and not the hearsay of others.
