Thank you Detroit & Metro Detroit!

Thank you Detroit ,

I came to this city with the mindset I wanted to be a real estate investor even though I knew nothing about the city. And with alot of the BP postings that happen on the site it truly feels like its Detroit vs Everybody lol.

I set a goal in mind here to build a team I can trust,  find the right people that know the city street by street, and know the right people to mentor me. Though I was an outsider looking in, everyone was pretty helpful and willing to help and never left me with a dull moment. In a short period of two years of dedication and 20 something different acquisitions, I have found my path that I want to go forward in real estate and its impact it has made in my life and my future vision..

I won’t forget my first day here thinking Dearborn was Detroit … The excitement of my first place costing me a whopping 10k..The numerous occasions of jumping through windows on a foreclosure to see if it was gutted or not... I can go on and on lol..   This city has taught me well with the ins and outs of real estate, the to do and what no to dos. I met many that have made it really big, and many that have lost it all. I have made many mistakes, gotten burned, gotten lucky at times, and won big at times too.. At the end I achieve my goal and am very happy with my experience.

I can now say I am on out of state investor as I have now am looking forward into my next journey in the Atlanta area. Not sure of the outcome will be in Atlanta, but come with the same mindset I had in Detroit. Keep learning, keep questioning, keep grinding.  I will continue to grow my portfolio in Detroit and Metro Detroit, and visit often (not in the winter). I truly support the efforts of the investors, businesses and the people in the community that are truly making a difference. Keep Building!
