For Those Of You That Have Invested In Detroit, I Would Love To Connect

Lucas Schlund
Pro Member
Posted

I am new investor to the Detroit area and was just looking to connect with some experienced investors or agents in the area. I am a real estate agent and live about 30 minutes from the city, but I haven't done any deals as an investor or agent within the city limits. I am mainly looking to connect with investors, but if you are an agent that works in the city I would still appreciate the market insight.

If you have done any residential flips, rehabs, BRRRR's, rentals, or any type of deal and wouldn't mind just connecting over the phone/email, please reach out.

Thankyou!

    Get in touch with Ali Boone of Hipster Investments. She does investor bus tours in Detroit all the time and has a lot of relationships there even though she lives in Cali.

    Hey Lucas, I've been investing in Detroit since 2019 and currently hold 12-doors there.

    I've done it all... buying with tenants, Section 8, full gut rehabs (to the studs), cosmetic BRRRR's, and I even run an STR there.

    I live in California currently but lived in Troy from 2017-2022. I'm still active in the Detroit market. I have my RE license but primarily focus on off-market deals and helping out of state investors get started there by plugging them into my team and helping them from start to finish do BRRRR deals.

    Anyway, happy to connect with you or anyone else. I write and share a lot about my experience, the market there, and even openly share performance history and numbers on my own rental portfolio.

    Happy to send you and anyone else those resources.

    @Lucas Schlund what's attracting you to the City of Detroit now?

    BTW: did you know Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods?

    Many investors are used to investing by zip code, but that won't really work in Detroit. Much of Detroit is "block-by-block", but that won't work for OOS investors.

    So, we've classified all the Neighborhoods to help investors make more informed decisions.

    DM us for more info.

    I have a project in Detroit that I'm looking to get some contractor bids on, curious if anyone has any good recommendations for contractors.

    @Steve Meyers join the FB group Metro Detroit Real estate investors to find contractors.

    Just be careful...
