I had the absolute pleasure of working with Richi Brown and the rest of the FIRE Realty Team to purchase my first investment property. Everyone was very professional, knowledgeable and eager to answer any questions I had. They worked tirelessly on my behalf to help me reach my goals. I plan on working with them again to grow my portfolio and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking to purchase investment property.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I began my search for a rental investment property near Detroit, Michigan in 2024. As a real estate broker and investor, I initially focused on working directly with listing agents. However, I quickly realized that not all agents in the area share the same level of professionalism or dedication. That’s when I came across a listing represented by Shane from Fire Realty. From the start, Shane stood out—he was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful. He guided me through the offer process with such professionalism that I decided to work with him exclusively as my buyer’s agent moving forward. Shane consistently had my best interests at heart. He went above and beyond to provide detailed walk-through videos, market insights, and all the information I needed to make confident, informed decisions. After a couple of offers that didn’t work out, we successfully closed on our third—an ideal off-market rental property in a suburb outside of Detroit that was already tenant-occupied and producing steady income. Shane made the entire experience seamless, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and proactive agent in the Detroit metro area. I am looking forward to continue working with Shane to build my investment portfolio in the area.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a Detroit native currently living in California, I recently began the journey of purchasing my first property back in Michigan. From the start, Shane Snow of the FIRE Realty Team stood out with his deep knowledge of the Metro Detroit area and his expert guidance in navigating the real estate market. Over the course of more than six months, and through multiple deals that didn’t close, Shane remained patient, professional, and supportive. What truly set him apart was his consistent focus on my best interests. At no point did I feel pressured to rush into a decision. Instead, Shane made it clear that he was committed to helping me find the right property, not just any property. After seven months of searching, I finally closed on a home, and I couldn’t have done it without Shane. His dedication, transparency, and commitment to excellent service made all the difference. Thank you to Shane and the entire Fire Realty Team for everything you do. If you're looking to buy or sell in the Metro Detroit area, I can’t recommend Shane highly enough. He’s the real deal!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The lovely folks at FIRE Realty Team made buying my first house so much less stressful than expected - brilliant negotiating skills, prompt and detailed communication and overall highly intuitive with helping me find the right place. Tons of knowledge and experience allowed me to make the best decisions truly without worry - thank you all again so much, you are appreciated!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike Helfant went above and beyond to help sell our house. He was professional, nice, knowledgeable and always went out of his way to help. Highly recommend him!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I set out working with Matthew Bahoura and Josie Wilt a few months ago to buy my first property and my goal wasnt just to buy a property but find a great group of people to help me get it done. There's a huge amount of complexities that come along purchasing a property, especially when doing it from out of state. Working with these guys was easily the best decision I ever made and my experience was nothing short of spectacular with this group. Matt is very caring, responsive, and with his experience he will help you get the property you want. Don't be fooled by Matts calm demeanor up front, because after you start working with him his attitude is anything but. If you want to work with someone that will help you stay on top of navigating the complexities of buying a property, Matt will be right there along side of you not only helping you solve problems but on the ground quickly taking action and getting things done. Everytime something seemed to get off track or go sideways with the deal Matt was always there talking through every problem and ensured everything kept moving forward through closing. I believe it's priceless when working with true professionals during this process and with Matt and his team I definitely always felt confident about making my decision.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A big thank you to Brett and team for getting us across the finish line on our investment property. His expertise and resources have been invaluable as new investors in Detroit. It was a pleasure working with him and we hope to work with Brett on future investments!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Matt Hibbs was a tremendous help during both the scouting and purchasing process. As a new investor he answered many(!!) dumb questions and helped me understand the market in Wayne County better than I think any agent could. I will 100% be purchasing more homes with Matt and he has become the first person I mention when I am asked about what has helped me most on my real estate journey.

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.
