My opinion is don't try this in Detroit proper. 

Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

I was hoping someone would jump into this thread with an Iowa opinion.

I have flipped a few houses during covid and remote working times and was fortunate enough to grow up in a family of real estate investors and entrepreneurs which has provided me mentors and exposure to starting and operating a business.I am thinking of starting my own construction/development company in a few years time and wanted to hear some opinions from people who have done it who are outside of my circle.

Would love to hear your experiences or opinions!

In my humble opinion, your business plan will be much more important than the market.

Quote from @Ryan Brown: Quote from @Cameron Mehta: SO many people here with opinions that know nothing about Detroit.

It is the best way to build generational wealth in my opinion.

@Dave KushIt seems there is a lot of opinions on this.

In my opinion, that's the best way to get started.
