Partnering with the Right Real Estate Investment Company

FIRE Realty Team takes a deep look at the analytics, market, and appreciation. Our team takes the guesswork out of considering an investment property. Reaping the benefits of Detroit real estate properties revolves around the knowledge of the market and appreciation.

DETROIT REAL ESTATE MARKET

Detroit is home to well over a dozen fortune 500 companies. Hospitals are a well known focal point of choosing a market to invest in. Metro Detroit happens to have a very large and sustained, growing, hospital and medical industry. Not to mention the still strong manufacturing industries that bring strong blue collar neighborhoods. It just so happens (by no accident) that some of our favorite markets to invest in include a nearby hospital, or auto maker plant, or both.

REAL ESTATE APPRECIATION

When investors think “appreciation” they think coastal or mountain towns. However, real estate is an amazing thing because you can just focus on the data. Sure a city like Denver might have insane appreciation, but with a $400k entry price point, that’s just not feasible for the average investor. Real Estate has appreciated at 3-4% across the nation for the past 100 years. It will likely do so for the next 100 years. Natural population growth, demand, and inflation continue to drive these up.

Let’s Paint a Picture

Unfortunately, we’ve all heard of a few flops when it comes to Detroit investment properties. Typically, it goes something like this...

Someone sees or hears that Detroit has very cheap properties
Said someone reaches out to an agent, property manager, or investor guru who confirms, “yes, we have very cheap properties.”
A deal comes on the table for a $20K house that is a great deal and just needs a few minor updates. Yet, can reach an ARV of $100K.
The client jumps on it only to find out the sewer line is broke, there’s a leak all the way from the roof to the basement, nobody wants to rent in the area, and there’s even more work than originally thought.
$50K is spent fixing it up, but it’s okay as long as the ARV is $100K, right? Unfortunately, when the client goes to sell, a different agent informs the house is only worth $60k in its best condition due to location.
Ouch. It happens.

These are the stories that scare people away from Detroit. However, it’s not all bad. When you take a further analysis, and understand where and how to invest, the Metro Detroit area can be one of the best markets to invest in.

What are the Best Properties to Invest In?

Some of the best investment properties in all of the the Metro Detroit Area, Michigan, and the US itself, reside in the “Ring Cities” or closing bordering suburban cities of Detroit Proper. These cities have an outstanding balance of Purchase Price, Price-to-Rent Ratio, and Location. Cities include: Warren, Eastpointe, Harper Woods, Clinton Twp, Roseville, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte, Taylor, Inkster, Westland, Redford, and quite a few more.

These cities have prices around $100k, Rents well over $1000 and they’re strong blue-collar neighborhoods with parks, hospitals, larger industries, or a combination of industries. Typically, these Detroit property investments work out to be double-digit ROI and a few hundred dollars of cash flow per door.

For years people have been saying “Detroit Isn’t a good place to invest in.”

Meanwhile, if you take a look at just Redford, MI appreciation chart (reference below), investors that bought 10 years ago have almost 5x their money in 10 years. A 3-bedroom house in Redford rents for about $1300-$1600 a month. There are many markets/cities in the Metro Detroit area with similar-looking trends. Investors that invested near Detroit have done pretty alright.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a fantastic experience working with Matt Hibbs and the FIRE team. They were quick to respond, willing to offer help, and diligent with updates. I'm glad I went with them and came out of it with a 5-day cycle from listing to a signed agreement, which way exceeded my expectations.

I initially reached out to a few agents who sold recently near my property, and Joe was the first to reply and introduced me to Matt. This set the tone for the rest of the process. A few issues came up before I was able to get access back to my property, but each time, Matt was quick to jump in and help where he could. Once I got access, he promptly dropped in to review the property, followed by giving me suggestions on what I could do and what each approach would yield. He also helped me throughout the process of getting the property ready - providing trusted vendors, verifying the price range I should pay for services, etc. As soon as it was ready, he came by again, took photos, drafted up the details, got it listed, all in the same day. We got an offer the first weekend of it listed, and with Matt's guidance, the process leading up to closing was painless.

Highly recommended if you want someone who's responsive, direct, helpful, and dependable to get your property sold.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Fire Realty was a game changer for me, choosing Fire Realty and working with Tadoh as a realtor truly made all the difference in my experience as an investor and homeowner. Tadoh goes above and beyond throughout the entire process, he is committed to finding the right fit, not just closing a deal. I had transactions that threw it all at him and the team, complicated in the inspection, appraisal and financing stages. I was incredibly grateful I had them working with me to get it done. I honestly believe another realty team would not have had the commitment, team collaboration or skills to get things done. The Fire team leaves you feeling like you have an army behind you. If your looking, trust me when I tell you, this is the team you want.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience working with Mike. From start to finish, he was incredibly attentive to detail, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making the process as smooth as possible. He answered every question thoroughly, and stayed on top of all the little details that can easily get overlooked during a real estate transaction.

I always felt like I was in good hands and never felt rushed or pressured. Mike’s communication, professionalism, and attention to detail really stood out, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled properly.

I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a realtor who is trustworthy, thorough, responsive, and truly cares about his clients.
