Real Estate Investor from Detroit!
Hello BP Community! I am a real estate investor looking to increase activity in the Metro Detroit Area. I have lived in Ann Arbor, and Detroit and worked in Dearborn as a Professional Engineer. I would love to connect and network with my fellow RE Professionals so that we can hopefully make a difference together :-)
There is so much potential in the Metro Detroit Area and I am excited and looking forward to being a part of the renaissance!
Let's connect!
Hey,
Welcome Damiete! I'm down here in Dearborn as well, working as an Engineer! Would love to connect on your experience in RE and plans to move forward. Sent an invitation to connect!

@Damiete Horsfall been doing this for 25+ years.
You should look into local RE investment groups: www.REIAofOaKland.com. www.MREIA.com, etc.
Hey there!
Local Detroit agent here with Berkshire Hathaway: The Loft Warehouse. Sending you a connection invite.
Highly recommend: Metro Detroit Real Estate Investors Group on Facebook, a lot of good stuff going on in there and they have a monthly meet up.

Thanks for the recommendation Drew! As a matter of fact I am looking for reputable Property Managers such as yourself and I would love to connect with you. I actually gave Logical PM a call earlier today. I'll try again to see if I can reach you.
You found the right place, Damiete!
Welcome aboard and best of luck investing!

Damiete,
Welcome to BP! I've found a ton of value from this community and I'm sure you will as well!
I'm a virtual real estate CPA investing in Nashville, TN and Lexington, KY. I'm so glad to hear about potential in Detroit, it has always been one of my favorite cities since visiting many times while growing up for ice hockey tournaments.
Best of luck in your investments!
Welcome! We love it here!
Can point you in the right direction to all the resources you would need to build a team.
My Personal portfolio is here and it cash flows extremely well and is low maint.
Here are some of the types of properties that we find work the best...
Purchase: $80k-$130k
Rent: $1200-$1500
ROI: 10-14%
Cash flow: $250-$350/door
Appreciation: Double digit (for past 10 years, will gladly send data)
Location: C, B- (suburbs and certain markets)
We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, mortgage, Amazon fulfillment, and more jobs.
The bad reputation comes from OOS investors wanting $20k D market properties. We don’t buy those lol.

Hi Joe! Thanks for this very informative post! These are very attractive numbers, and from the conversations I've been having, it makes sense. I'd be interested to know how sales are going in this market especially for C properties that are rehabbed into B+ properties. Let's talk more soon!
Welcome @Damiete Horsfall! I'm out an OOS investor but travel to Detroit relatively frequently for work (automotive engineer). Very limited experience here but looking to connect and grow with others, connection request sent!
That is great to hear @Damiete Horsfall. Good luck and let me know if you want to connect about Cleveland market as well since they have similar house prices and tenant demand.
