Investing in Pontiac Michigan

Hello fellow BP Members!

I have been trying to find an area where property values are still low but the potential for future growth is constantly increasing. This resulted in me finding Pontiac, Mi. This area has seen some truly hard times BUT lately there has been a ton of industry moving there.

Amazon distribution warehouse built on the entire Pontiac Silverdome land

United Wholesale Mortgage headquarters moved in and purchased a lot of surrounding land

M1 Concourse Racetrack and Luxury Car Condos built


Has anyone else looked at Pontiac for a potential area for investment? If so, how has your experience been?

Thank you for any help!

Adam C.

Pontiac has a majority of Class C tenants, just like Detroit.

Pontiac, in our experience though, has better city services and is less tenant-friendly than Detroit.

So, Pontiac is a pretty good place to invest - if you understand Class C markets.
