I sent you a messageI'm in your market ,Suffolk Virginia / Hampton Roads,  we can discuss your options.

@Jesse Streng Great that you want to invest in the Detroit area but I encourage you to come to the city and spend a weekend here to get a feel for the market.

Take a look at what markets you are planning on starting in and make sure it is a growing market where the appreciation is obvious. 

I’d love to connect and share insights about the market or anything else that might help you on your journey.

Being a 20 year mortgage expert and real estate investment veteran, we used our mortgage company to secure below market financing.

In the second half of the year, market by market, the supply will slow to near record lows, which will be a key theme in 2026.

I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.

Rent we collect is typically 30-50% higher than market average.

Study the market.

Sometimes folks overlook how real prce apprecation can be impacted by having acreage that’s not typical in suburban areas.In Phoenix, where I’m based, a lot of us collaborate with local probate attorneys who know about hidden opportunities that never see the open market.
