Moving to Detroit

[Dustin Zentz]

Hello, My wife and I are considering selling our house in Denver, moving to Detroit, and investing in real estate. I have 15 years experience in home construction and renovation, but limited experience in investing. We will have around 150k cash to invest and I plan on doing most of the renovations myself. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

@Dustin Zentz I hope it goes well for you my friend. I can't imagine leaving Colorado for Detroit. Even if you are not in Detroit proper, the weather change would be more than I could stand. Have you lived in the area before? If not, pay it a visit in early Sept when the weather is great here in Colorado and then again in December. It's hard to beat our sunshine here.

WOW! I honestly never knew the weather was a selling point for Denver!

Skiing maybe! Summers beautiful! I used to vacation in Telluride & Durango!

I moved to S California for the weather 20 plus years ago.

I moved to Detroit for the opportunities 6 years ago. Now that was a change! but I could not have accomplished  what I've accomplished in any other market.
