I am talking here about future value of the properties and how can they appreciate or not in time (I am aware of the risks of bad tenants, but that’s another story) and/or what to look at or not when choosing a neighborhood or studying a deal.Also, to seek opinions from people within the US and, even more, people living in Detroit, to see if the hype that the city has been having (at least here) as a good opportunity to invest and expect a huge rebirth of the city in terms of jobs and population growth is justified or just hype.I also want to seek opinions regarding the amount of investment the city has been having in terms of buying and reconstructing houses: does it match the actual need for single family homes or there are more houses available than the people looking to rent them?

In fact, it was 3 days prior to me having my shoulder reconstructed, which might be part of why this deal was stressful.

You are buying properties in run down neighborhoods for substantially under reconstruction value and the structures sit on land that has little value.

And when a number of them were the exact same color and fake phont and said the exact same thing it did not take a brain surgeon to realize that these were not the personalized letters that they were attempting to look like...

Hollywood has moved here, celebrities and movie stars have sold their homes in California and moved here, Facebook has moved here, Porsche has moved here, BMV has moved here, Mercedes Benz has moved here, GE, this is a top 5 city for millennials, the Beltline was spoken about, and then was enacted as was the new stadium, underground Atlanta was just bought for millions and will be completely reconstructed by 2020, the new Westside park will be open around the same time.
