I picked up this off-market 4bed 2bath that needs some polish for $12k in October.  Starting rehab in Feb 2022.

Thanks, Jay!  I sure hope so!  

So, I've been listening to BiggerPockets podcasts for a while and decided that I wanted to move to Detroit and invest in the revitalization of this jewel of a city.  

No, I'm not interested in being part of the movement to push people out of their homes, but instead, invest in Detroit Land Bank abandoned properties and flipping them efficiently.

I work remotely in the advocacy+political world, so I could technically live anywhere.  After visiting Detroit multiple times and dibbling and dabbling in real estate investing, I decided to come here so I could be on the ground for the projects I'm going to be involved with.

Today, I'll be going to visit the homes being auctioned+buy it now this week and sharing on a new YouTube page for those potentially interested in investing in Detroit. Not only showing the property itself, but showing what's around it and the vibe of the spot---essentially the stuff I wish I could've seen before living here.

If you've got properties you're interested in, but live somewhere else, feel free to inbox me.  If I have time, I'll go and shoot a video for you.

@Stewart Beal awesome story!

@Travis Biziorek that would be awesome!

I just moved to Michigan for the purpose of investing in Detroit last month.  I'm in Lansing now, but go to Detroit on the weekends and planning on moving to Detroit next month.  I'm doing the whole airBnB thing since my employer is paying my lodging.  Id always planned on moving here, so it made perfect sense :-)...  

It's really not as bad on the ground and I've met a lot of folks who've invested.  I recommend the Facebook groups, I've learned a TON.
