Top 10 Biggest Midwest Cities: Which are Growing & Attractive for Investors?

Just in!

After decades of being a national joke, Detroit has turned the corner and is outpacing the rest of the Midwest!

It's even doing better than Columbus, OH, which is starting to fade.

Detroit's focus on removing blighted buildings has been key to its renaissance, reducing inventory and improving neighborhoods. 

The recent NFL Draft, hosted by Detroit, brought in over 300,000 visitors who's attitudes about Detroit did a 180.

Detroit also beat out Miami last year for the city with the highest appreciation rate in the US.

It's not all unicorns & rainbows though, as there are still many areas of the city investors should avoid, which scammers keep trying to sell to naive OOS investors.

PM us if you'd like to know more about how we've assisted hundreds of investors make logical investment choices in Detroit and avoid portfolio crushing mistakes:)

Statistics about Milwaukee are often wrong or let's call it misguided. 

The problem is that the statistics refer to the City of Milwaukee, which represents only 1/3 of the population of the Milwaukee metro area. But the City of Milwaukee also conecntrates almost 100% of everything negative you have heard about Milwaukee, from poverty to crime. The other 2/3s of the metro area are doing more than well in every aspect.

Outlook: 

We are currently in the middle of a giant freeway expansion/modernization project costing $1.7 billion dollars. Infrastracture spending of this magnitude rarely goes without resulting economic growth. And the Milwaukee major wants to grow its population by more than 60% by changing the zoning law (project Growing MKE) opening up the sea of low density single family zoning to townhomes, mixed use, MF and ADU's.

So yes, as an investor I am quite bullish for the next 10 years. More about Milwaukee on YouTube.
