Anyone have boots on the ground in 48228?

Question

Hi Folks,

We're in the process of doing due diligence on a property on COYLE St., a block or so south of JOY rd.

We've looked into the neighborhood as much as we can, and would love to know if anyone has swung by the area at any time recently, and can share their opinions on that general area.

From what we think we know, Joy rd. seems pretty run down around there, however, heading south from Joy it picks up a bit, as you get closer to Dearborn, and COYLE itself from a block or so below Joy seems to be ok. Nothing too distressed.

If anyone has, or is having, boots on the ground in the next week or so, we'd be very, very grateful for any info you can give us. Living in China, I can't offer you much beyond some good Karma (and perhaps next time I'm back home in the US I can send you some chicken feet snacks or sth. ;) ) but we'd be very grateful.

Thanks all.

Hold and rent.

Sorry, this isn't isn't the property. It's an off market listing.

Hi Linda,

To answer your question, it would depend on the price you are acquiring the property. I did a quick MLS search and it looks like you may be talking about the property listed for 10K (I'm good at doing my homework!) If you're going to buy in 48228, Warrendale is a more desirable area than this location.

What is your strategy? Flip? Rent? Hold? I'd like this property a lot more if it was brick vs framed.
