Detroit has a lot of real estate investor meetups that you can locate in the events forum here and on meetup dot com.

Quote from @William Dorrough: I currently either purchase and value add large scale multifamily properties or develop, and build ground up my issue with scaling is we have done this without brining in investors i have a great deal flow with a good track record im really looking to do more i have the capacity but have the need for more capital in one way or another  Scaling without investors can be tough, especially in multifamily.

Team of people watching notifications and contacting guests and if necessary going out to property to address issues.

I plan to come a scope out locations/properties this winter. 

Here in Chicago, you should expect a range from $200-$275/SF, depending on the location, experience, labor, and material finish level.Are you in a position where you already own some land, or what is your current situation?
