Detroit investors - structure type
If any of you are involved in this market, do you have any experience with wood frame homes versus brick homes? Specifically, do you have issues with finding tenants for wood frame homes when compared to their brick counterparts?

The area where I tend to invest, Westside of Detroit, I see the brick homes are easier to rent, better neighborhoods, and more of a community type environment. If you can I would lean more towards brick homes but it is dependent on the street.
