Hello all,

I am working with a few wholesalers in the Detroit area and I need some help.  Can anyone give me some ideas of which areas are really bad and to stay away from?  I am not familiar with Detroit so any help is appreciated.

Hey @Mike York

I am a realtor in the Metro Detroit Area.  I am in Detroit everyday and I definitely can assist you with this matter.  It depends on your buying criteria.  The price you buy at determines what areas you can go in. If you're looking for cheap houses your going to get bad neighborhoods.  There are some stable areas in the city. What you want is one bad house on a good block. Not a street that has 4-8 vacancies on every block. You need a local Realtor on your power team that has your best interest.
