Moving to Detroit, interested in the market as an investor/agent.

[Billy Farley]

My name is Billy Farley, I am an agent with EXP Realty and a real estate investor. I wholesale real estate as well as fix and flip. I’m interested also in buying holds for long-term.

I’m looking to move to Detroit, that market is unlike anything I’ve seen. I was wondering what life might look like as a real estate investor/agent. From what I can tell, Detroit is in a long-term rebound. I’d like to get boots on the ground in the very beginning.

If anyone can offer me any insight that would be great. I plan on moving into the city proper, probably one that makes the top 10 of best neighborhoods in Detroit.
