It’s a city I know well because I built a 12-door portfolio there between 2019 and 2021.Detroit offers a lot of value in terms of affordability and rental demand.

Say a "partner" comes in and it's say the unit is set, rent stabilized with a 3yr term. 

.- The variety of financing products available as individual tenant in common loans remains limited, and the terms are generally less favorable than either apartment building loans or condominium loans.

The reason I recommend this is because as a short-term solution incase you cannot go full DSCR right out of the gate.

They will get the highest price and the best terms for their property by marketing it professionally and exposing it to the maximum number of retail buyers, which means putting it on the MLS with an agent.

Once you do this conversion you can't change it back to a traditional long-term rental. 

As a long-term hold investor, I see this property as -$600/mo to -$800/mo depending on whether you use a PM or not.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but the map here used to shaded in terms of the filter selected (i.e.

Quote from @Devin James: In one of our development projects, the City staff asked us to remove 40 units from our concept plan.This wasn’t requested by the City Commission at a formal hearing, it was the opinion of the staff.Our original concept already proposed fewer units than the current zoning would have allowed.Here’s what erasing 40 units means:- 40 fewer homes for buyers- Over $1M in lost profit for our team- Fewer tax dollars and impact fees that could’ve benefited the City’s infrastructure & servicesWe gotta get betterEveryone wants more affordable housing, but not everyone wants to do what it takes to achieve it we never listen to the recommending bodies. we move for city approvals and work closely. the other thing we do is keep going back to the same groups over and over and over and over every month on the same agenda and make very small reductions like 2% or 4% and that reduces and beats them down eventually they accept what you want. it's just before beating a dead horse. we keep tabling until they give us something we all agree on then we go to vote. in our city in columbus we have to get recommendations but that's our strategy. we used to come out as aggressive as possible. we typically study developments in the area and keep it very similar in terms of density. we have a track record of very controversial projects and litigation and not taking no as an answer. after a year of that haha I can tell you it's not worth it. now we are more relationship based and buying the right kinds of plots of land. if the numbers don't work on the front end don't do the development.
