Hey team, I want to know my options being a Canadian citizen if I can buy real estate near my border city Detroit, MI.

FYI: most cities won't allow a tenant to live in a basement, but they don't care that an owner lives in it.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.PM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

My suggestion would be to stick to historically strong neighborhoods - this can be expensive if you want to be near center city, but if you have the budget highly consider - Fitler square, grad hospital, fairmount, olde city.

My company’s name is Glass City Rehabs & Restorations.

I'm particularly passionate about Uplifting the Beautiful City of DetroitOutside of real estate, I enjoy Personal Finance, Rock Climbing and long walks on the beachExcited to learn and connect with you all!

I am actually from Elgin, but I live in the city around the Logan Square area. 

I am also purchasing a duplex in Westland, MI which is a city near Detroit and close to the airport. 

Is being a section 8 landlord there doable, or is the housing authority and the city a hinderance to deal with?

Which cities/areas do you suggest?
