i moved to detroit last year, read the zoning code, outlined it, studied it. i am just really into it. i would love to connect with developers to help find them land or buildings for loft conversions (or whatever their ideas are). yesterday, i just analyzed all the new build sales last year for price per sqft sold and leased. and i know the 10ish neighborhoods where developers are building new housing stock in my market. but how do i get in front of developers?

•Investing in low-grade neighborhoods just because Section 8 pays well.

@Amanda Rechsteiner nothing on Joe's portfolio list is in the CITY OF DETROIT.They are all in the Ring Cities - inner-ring suburban cities around the City of Detroit.The Ring Cities offer investors mostly solid Class B neighborhoods that make great rentals.We've got a color-coded map on our website that may be helpful:)

@Jai Windish I don't know the neighborhoods of Peoria, but what about something like this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1025-N-Uni...?

Houses have the ability to crash but rents on the other hand generally stay steady and increase over time.My real point to you is that if you buy in a neighborhood that is predominantly owner occupied and then decide to rent later, it will be hard to find good renters on a consistent basis.  

@Jason Mitchell two of the better Neighborhoods of Detroit's 183 that we've ranked.Are you planning to rent or flip these?

They appear to be a onestop shop for all aspects of developing real estate projects with about 10 years here in DFW area.

We pay our contractors the day we get the bill and actually hand them the check, we plan and thus very few midstream changes, when we ask for a quote they know it’s the real deal, we don’t shop and penny pinch.  

Apart from shopping around for a new insurance company that will be easier to work with, you can also add the entity as an "additional insured," leaving yourself as the named insured or vice versa. 

i can't take my eyes off islandview and east village - so many new builds in these up-and-coming areas. plus land is cheapest there (of the new build neighborhoods).these are the 10ish neighborhoods in detroit where developers are building new housing stock.30+ new build sales in last 12 months: half sold for $227-300 per sqft. half sold for $301-418 per sqft.build to rent: new builds rent for $2.00-2.57 per sqft.in our R2 zoning, you can build a duplex by right, and you can build up to 8 units with site plan approval (there are minimums, likes frontage and lot square footage requirements, but there's a lot of potential with our zoning code). what do you think abt these prices per sqft?
