Investing in Detroit, MI

[Savai Smith]

Hello!  I am a realtor, desiring to get into the investment side (flips/buy & holds).  I am in NC.  I researched listings in Detroit.  I understand they have a history of selling properties extremely cheap.  To the experienced investors: would it be worth it to travel to Detroit to invest the time, etc...... to flip a property there, since I cannot find anything similar in my area, with the market being so hot? 

Thank You!
