Since there's plenty on the BP posts warning investors about Detroit, I thought it would be right to share a few tips for investors still curious or optimistic about the Detroit market.1) First, it's overwhelming how every block is completely different from the next, and just because you spot a good deal on one block doesn't mean that the next block or parallel streets carry the same energy.2) Secondly, you have to think placemaking instead of spot investing due to the excessive vacancies and blight.

Each parcel should have a different lot and block number.

Maybe I am being silly here, but have you priced out butcher block?

Hello All,I am in the process of buying a 2 flat in Brighton Park on the same block i grew up on.

It sits a couple of blocks North of where major flooding hit during Harvey.

However, I'm focusing on acquiring buy and hold properties all in (fixed cost + rehab + purchase) 75k-100k price range & ARV 110k - 150 k > in different blocks of Bmore. 

I want to get out of the starter blocks so bad but I really need a more sound approach.

@Lei L.Hi Lei,A (2 inch) red ball sticker on the bottom of the entry door for each dog.A (2 inch) blue ball sticker on the bottom of the entry door for each cat.That way maintenance knows what they are up against, and not to leave the door blocked open allowing the pets to escape.It can also help the Fire Department (if you let them know what the colors mean).Good Luck!

If you don't foresee any major stumbling blocks (or, if you do, and would like to discuss confidentially - we can certainly do that), I'd be happy to set up a showing for you.

There are a lot of areas where it can be block-to-block.
