Building plex in Detroit

[Frank Bastin]

Hello,

I currently live in Canada and would like to jump into real estate development, but I have no idea where to start. I know for a fact that the city of Detroit has a lot of cheap-ish land to sell, so I was thinking about buying a piece of land somewhere around downtown and building a triplex. Does anyone have any experience whatsoever in development in Detroit, and what are the pros and cons? Also, I need some tips because I really want to get into the Detroit market, I want to see that city shine again!
