New Investor in the Detroit Area

My husband and I have been looking to get into pre-hab and rehab investments for a couple of years now but were never able to take the leap.  There are a lot of opportunities in the Metro Detroit area right now - we can't keep passing it up!  On a whim we sat through a Fortune Builder's seminar that gave us a lot of information and excitement.  We figured in lieu of paying them $$$, we'd focus our effort and money on growing more organically, utilizing BP and local networking to establish our foundation.  The amount of information and support on BP is great!  It really takes the fear and hesitation out of the leap. 

We're anxious to hear from other investors in the Detroit area including your thoughts on the direction of the market.  With everything going on in the city (good and bad), am I being overly optimistic in seeing this as a land of opportunity?
