Moving to Detroit - Thoughts? Also looking to buy a MF property.`
Hello BP members!
I've accepted an offer to work for Quicken Loans at their Detroit office, and am looking to get some insight at what areas of town might be worth investing in/ move to.
In order to start my investing career I'm highly interested in buying a duplex-quad, seller financing, or rent to own opportunities.
Forgive me if the post should be in marketplace, and if so I'll gladly move this post there.
Thank you in advance for your advice, and I hope everyone has a fantastic New Years =D

Look at the living conditions:
- where's the shopping
- where's the schools
- access to major traffic routes vs local driving conditions
Rent for a YEAR to feel out the area before you pour concrete around your feet with a mortgage.
