My wife and I moved here from Front Royal, VA due to our expanding family. 

I'm at Keller Williams in Royal Oak.

Do you also happen to related to the royal family in Swaziland?

@Shayne Hastings: I also run a property management company in the Metro Detroit area, Royal Rose Properties.

If I was the new tenant moving in I would be royally P*ssed with my new landlord for not recognising the fact that move out takes place before the move in on the first unless otherwise agreed to by new tenant.

I bought a home at auction in October '15 for 19K, had 17K or rehab, and am now going through appraisal process with Royal United.

This can be a royal headache to manage, and something that most business owners that are tenants do not want to deal with balancing in addition to operating their already busy business. 

That Royal PITA is the essence of why so many landlords have moved to note investing! 

But that is going up too as more investors start to show up.Of course there are parts of Detroit that you should avoid like any other city with poverty.I think the most thriving cities by Detroit are:-Ferndale-Oak Park-Royal Oak-Berkley-Birmingham-Clawson-TroyAnd around those cities you will also find plenty of C-class cities that offer good rents for the price you would pay for a home that needs a little work.
