Hi everyoneFor those keen on Detroit, though I would list some of the reasons why I am targeting Detroit Bankruptcy really helped city start overSince the current mayor (Michael Duggan) was elected, Detroit has had a major turnaroundDemolished 3-5,000 houses per yearThe city has attracted lots of new businesses downtownPurchased $20 billion of real estate2016, 100,000 new jobs createdPistons basketball team brought downtownLast few markets in the country where you can still buy inexpensive real estate$40-50,000 properties renting for $850Nowhere near the peakIn suburbs of Detroit, home values are back to where they were in 2005-2006Can still get homes at $70,000 that will appraise at $100,000The city of Detroit has targeted 15-20 different parts of the city where they want to go in and clean-up and improve property values.

I will say that I was a preferred walk-on for the basketball team, so that helped me ignore the tuition cost, but stupid is still stupid.

I think he thought he was in a wrestling match out there instead of on a basketball court!  

It is owned by Dan Gilbert who also owns the greatest basketball team in the world, the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

It's a shell game. :) Really?

Some of my hobbies include: Learning about real estateSpeaking/Learning PortuguesePlaying guitar/drumsTraveling (visiting Iceland in August)ReadingSoccer/Basketball/Hiking/SnowboardingBuilding websites/learning codeI know it’s cliché, but I originally became interested in real estate while reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Just like it's not a derogatory term to call someone a college basketball player versus an NBA player.I think the rule of thumb argument is there to act as insurance from making an obviously bad deal.

Bryan is right though when you go to these events there might be ONE pitching real estate the rest are pitching some business  lots of software .. gamer stuff whole variety of things other than real estate.. these folks are looking to be the next ground floor investors in Google or FAcebook.not generally interested in a real estate deal since real estate frankly is not that complicated and they can do them themselves.  

I expect that to slow down but to be over 10% over 2018, 2019.Raiders, Golden Knights , Aces, and talk about a professional baseball team and basketball team might be coming.  

I had to deal with loud basketball playing a 3:00 am.
