Your next best bet to find something cheap is the North End which is about 3 Miles North of Downtown, but off Woodward and Oakland Aves, or maybe the east Jefferson Area.Also, if your Spanish is pretty solid, and can handle dealing with people without a verifiable job, or immigration papers, SW Detroit, in Mexican Village could be an option.In all these places I mentioned you better be ready to dig in hard on a renovation, and take control of the property.

Hi all, I am an immigrant (please forgive my English) and a newbie in real estate/commercial investment industry in this country.

So I thinks it's a a lot of unrelated room mates and what I gathered by talking to the neighbors there are 7 cars that park there and their immigration status is questionable. 

@Chris B.Many Chinese buyers are investing in the US for the following main reasons:- Immigration- Education (every year 300,000 students from China are arriving in the US for studies)- Diversification/investmentsEach of the reasons above has been increasing significantly in numbers every year and we expect that this trend will continue.

Mom and I are immigrants from a country that took advantage of its ppl, so we don't trust anyone with our money.

It is also a destination for the majority of immigrants in America today which means rents will remain steady over time.

West coast and East coast continue to see a large influx of Chinese investors driven by immigration and education reasons.  

Second, if you immigrated to the USA and are first generation, you may still be learning American culture. 

I like the prices of real estate state side but immigration laws in U.S makes it hard to be here over 180 days a year!

If one looks at underpinnings, "as a whole" the US market should keep modestly expanding over the next several decades - we have a healthy birth rate, good influx of immigration, diversity of household, and plenty of land to build and rehabilitate.
