From Joe’s industry experience as an investor to Mike’s amazingly responsive and meticulous day-to-day support to Ani’s capable handling of the purchase process, these folks encompass everything you would want in a team handling your investment search. They are responsive, knowledgeable, helpful, transparent, and most importantly, pleasant! They took the intimidation out of our first investment purchase process, and we look forward to continuing to work with them for future investments. As an investor, you know how important it is to build a trustworthy team, and this team is that important first step of the process. Give them a go. You will not regret it!

I have been pleasantly surprised at the level of service from Nick Harris and the FIRE Realty Team. Nick has gone above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need to be successful. He took a lot of time during our first call to fully understand my needs, and has been extremely responsive since. Most impressively, he notifies me of properties that might be of particular interest to me, and even creates financial reports for the investments. I highly recommend Nick and hope to close many deals with him!

I loved working with Joe and Richi! Amazing people who know the area super well and truly care about what I am looking for. Not only are they professional and responsive and strategic, but their customer service is absolutely top notch. I loved working with them and won’t do another deal there without them.

Hip Hip Hooray! Nick Harris from FIRE Realty helped me nail property # 3 for my portfolio! Excellent communications, always on top of things, and there to back me all the way through closing! It was by far the best experience with real estate agent I’ve had. Thank you Nick and FIRE Realty team!

I was waiting for a while to get into the real estate investing. There were so many times where I felt unsure until I found FIRE realty team. I worked with Matt Hibbs and we were able to get my first deal closed. Matt is always available and always answers any questions. If you’re looking to get started in out of state real estate investing in Detroit I highly suggest you reach out. You won’t be disappointed!Posted on ClaudiusDecember 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't say enough good things about Terri Burch.

Thank you to the entire FIRE team but Terri is the GOAT!Posted on Osama AltairyDecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Julia was a great agent, as an investor she made the process simple and quick. I will continue to do business with her and the FIRE teamPosted on Lance SheardDecember 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with the Fire Realty Team was an outstanding experience. The entire group is incredibly knowledgeable, and I’m grateful for their guidance throughout the process. Thank you, Teri, for helping me purchase my first rental investment.Posted on Kellie ScottNovember 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have nothing but great things to say about Richi and the Fire Realty team. I was am out of town investor and this was my first property. Richi held my hand throughout the entire process. Everyone's response time was impeccable. The resources were amazing. I've bought another property in my home state, but this was nothing like that process. I'm extremely appreciative.Posted on Cam MertensNovember 5, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Shane Snow at FIRE Realty Team has been excellent. We started our investment journey with a certain thought and expectation, and Shane has been great about taking what we expected and putting it into realistic terms. He won't push you into just any deal, he will work with you to ensure that you find the right deal for what your goals are. He knows the area as well as anyone, and especially in the Detroit area that knowledge is extremely helpful. We will be working with Shane for any of our real estate goals that we might have in the Detroit area.Posted on Vivien HuiNovember 1, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve worked with Mike the last 3 years on several investment deals. He knows all the neighborhoods and makes it easy with all the cap rates, cost seg, comps etc. ready to go as well as access to off-market deals. Communication is straightforward, he responses quickly, follows through, and our closings have been smooth without any drama. Also FIRE now has an in-house team that handles tenant placement and maintenance, so I am not chasing vendors after closing. He also runs investor forums for the community so you can connect w/ other invesstors. So if you're buying rentals in or around Detroit, I highly recommend Mike!

How much money do I need to get started?
The answer varies based on your investment strategy. If you're house hacking (living in the property), you could get started with as little as a few thousand dollars. For a straight investment, we typically recommend having at least $25,000-$30,000. This amount covers the down payment, closing costs, and ensures you have some reserves for unexpected expenses.
