Hey Dominique,

Welcome to the community! It’s fantastic to see you and your wife diving into real estate investing, especially in the Detroit market.

Detroit has some unique opportunities for rentals, and there’s a lot of potential for growth. Here are a few tips as you get started:

1. Research the Market: Get to know different neighborhoods in Detroit. Some areas may have more demand for rentals than others, so it’s good to pinpoint where you want to invest.
2. Network with Local Investors: Joining local real estate investment groups can provide invaluable insights and connections. You might find mentors or partners who can help you navigate your first deals.
3. Analyze Deals Thoroughly: Make sure to run the numbers carefully on potential investments. Consider not just the purchase price but also renovation costs, property management fees, and local rental rates.
4. Consider the Property Management Aspect: If you’re not planning to manage the properties yourself, finding a reputable property management company is essential to ensure smooth operations.
5. Stay Updated on Local Regulations: Familiarize yourself with rental laws and regulations in Detroit to avoid any potential issues down the line.

Feel free to ask any questions as you continue your journey. This forum is a great resource, and I’m sure you’ll find plenty of support here!
