I have been working with Michael as my realtor for investment properties in the Detroit area and have purchased three houses through him. He has been extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and always straight to the point. One of the things I appreciate most is that he has never been pushy about making a purchase—he gives me genuine, thoughtful responses to my questions and allows me to make decisions at my own pace. Every property I’ve purchased through him has been well worth the price, and the entire process has been smooth from start to finish. Michael also goes above and beyond by helping coordinate the transfer of properties to my property management company, making the transition seamless. Overall, I’ve been very happy with his services and will definitely continue working with him for future investment properties in the Detroit area.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasure working with Shane and the FRT Realty Team. Quick closing with no hassle or headaches.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a first time investment property buyer and worked with Matt Hibbs from the FIRE realty team. Before working with Matt, I was in contact with two other agents from other agencies and I'm so glad that I came in contact with Matt because his knowledge of the area, and his prompt, patient communication style was precisely what I needed as a first-time buyer. I cannot recommend him enough and hope I get the opportunity to work with him again. He went above and beyond for me many times and even after closing continues to be of great help. The other great aspect of working with FRT is that they have a great network of mortgage lenders, contractors, handymen, property managers etc. who you get connected with and help make the whole process less intimidating & smoother.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent working with Mike and his team. Quick responses on everything that was asked! Highly recommend!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My FIRE REALTY agent, Matt Hibbs, was a cornerstone of my real estate investing team. Not only am I an out of state investor, but this was my first investment property. I was taking a big leap of faith, but Matt exemplified commitment, responsiveness, excellent market knowledge, and patience. He helped me vet neighborhoods, properties, and deals all through the mindset of a real estate investor. We passed on deals that didn’t make financial sense and pursued ones that showed promise. Matt then helped me navigate through the process of closing the deal and using FIRE’s extensive resource list for getting the property ready to rent. I couldn’t be more happy with the property I eventually closed on. Looking forward to executing more deals with Matt and FIRE realty.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with Shane Snow from FIRE Realty – KW Somerset. Shane was incredibly honest, easy to communicate with, and always approachable throughout the entire process. He made everything smooth and stress-free with his friendly and professional attitude. It was a pleasure working with him, and I would absolutely love to work with him again in the future. Highly recommended!

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.
