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.
