Hey, my buying criteria in Detroit is simple but can be case by case. I will not give you every detail about it but the most important things I like are homes that are on the smaller side less than 1200 sq ft. The big homes are big problems. I like to buy single family homes in Detroit I can easily understand a street or block (as far as safety, culture, demographics) better than I can for multi-family in Detroit. I rather buy ranch type homes, with no bathroom in the basement. The biggest decision makers are the street and area around. I like to see some homeowners and feel safe. I talk to the neighbors and just immerse myself into that environment as much as I can while I am buying. Now, this list of rules has been broken but I try to stick to it best I can.
