@Gena Morris ,

Thats so exciting!!!! Woooooo!!! if you ever need anyone elses contact information I can recommend some good realtors, inspectors, or anything you need. 

@Gena Morris , Your contractor is moving to do work in Detroit is a blessing lol. One of many problems out of state investors has invested here in Detroit is the trust of contractors. Since your relationship with a contractor, you already in a good spot!

@Cassandra Sifford , Yes buy and hold, the cash flow here is worth putting your money into! 

Come visit here if possible, but yea investing somewhere where its a lower price would is a good idea. I invest in Detroit and say give us a shot lol

@Anthony Fecarotta ,

I invest in Detroit but single-family homes here not Multifamily. With your strategy of buying Multifamily in neighborhoods with high potential, I do not think Detroit is the best spot (unless you are buying pretty much downtown). If you are looking to buy single family homes in Detroit neighborhoods, I am saying do it!  

@Adnan M. ,

Dearborn is all in the forums here! I bought my duplex to house hack and now living in Dearborn but I am from Inkster. You probably know Dearborn very well to flip or buy and hold either you will do good. 

@Louis Grigoletti,

I sent you a PM let me know if it was able to reach you.

@Louis Grigoletti ,

Hey, whatever you need I can help! Just look forward to hearing the success story of your first house hack!

@Jessica Maalouf ,

Hey, I can recommend a contractor, one of my buddies used him for a flip in Detroit. When I helped my buddy with a flip the contractor was not bad just we found that breaking it up without a contractor is a little better. So we get a plumbing guy, an electrical guy, handymen, HVAC, flooring guy, and just one by one had different people than just using one contractor. 

@Louis Grigoletti ,

I wrote a little about my experience house hacking in Dearborn, 15 minutes from downtown Detroit.

Credit score - You only need a 620, your good to go!

Down payment- I think I had to bring $4000 to the closing table bought for 123k. I had a realtor (who I can recommend) who was able to negotiate and get me seller concessions and the lender (who I can recommend) gave me some lender credits. Your good to go!

You are making this easy process a lot harder, I had less money so no need to get a personal loan or hard money you already are overqualified!!!!

Wooooo!!!! How does it feel to know you are literally qualified to house hack and begin this journey??!!!

I am excited for you!! 

@Vera B.

Yes!! 

Super hot!! 

But it is more area based that's hot then the whole city, so certain places within the city are.
