New Investor in Michigan looking for agents
Hey Everyone! I am an out of state investor looking to scale up and purchase a ton of section 8 properties in Detroit. I already have a lender and a long list of properties I am interested in. I just need someone to be professional and help negotiating. Get back to me if you can help!

Hey Bob, happy to talk all things Detroit and share some great resources about the market.
I invest there from California and own 12-doors in Detroit proper today.
Section 8 can be ok but comes with risks that a lot of folks don't talk about. Feel free to search the forums or, again, I can send you some resources. I'm going through a Section 8 eviction on one of my home right now.
Detroit is also notoriously tough to analyze. If you're looking at "turnkey" properties under $60k today you're probably in D Class areas.
Beyond that, there's a lot of nuance. So just be mindful of what you're buying and where, who you're trusting, and make sure you do a bunch of research.
