my name is Emeka and I'm new to real estate. 

Building on existing land helps eliminate the issue of land scarcity, which is a significant challenge due to California’s high real estate prices.

As someone who is new to real estate, I'm thinking of being a bird dog for investors (although I haven't found any to work with me yet ) until I learn more of real estate. 

I’ve built a 12-door portfolio here since 2019, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made in real estate.If you’d like to dive deeper into Detroit-specific strategies or need some pointers on how to get started, feel free to reach out!
