We're excited to have found BP and are soaking it up as fast as we can to help us improve our investment strategies.

Detroit had a number of very unfriendly investor situations.. from the danger of your block going to seed... to Devils night and your house gets torched. to Wayne county basically being totally dysfunctional as a county entity.. just better places to invest.. is better in the suburbs of Detroit and out of Wayne county I have no doubt its better and probably sustainable.So in my mind If you live there and its your JOB to buy and run these assets then by all means give it a go..
