Now I consider myself a fairly analytical kind of guy.
I’ll admit, sometimes I go overboard with researching stuff.
But before I decided to rejoin my wife in the real estate business, I did some analysis on the Detroit market.
Why? Because I wanted to make sure that our strategy was based on a foundation of real data and expert projections.
Surprisingly, I found that Detroit is one of the best real estate markets to invest in right now.
No, really.
So today, I’m going to share with you what I found out that lead me to believe that Detroit is one of the best real estate markets to invest in.

“Doom and Gloom” Mindset
Now most people will tell you that now is a terrible time to be involved with real estate in Detroit.
That’s why “most” people aren’t successful.

OK, you’re right. That’s another topic for another day.
Let’s move on.

Regardless of what your strategy is with your investing, there are properties being sold here in Detroit at up to 75 percent off of what they were sold for not even 10 years ago.

Detroit Real Estate > Stock Market?
I can’t stress enough the importance of doing your homework and “buying right” when you buy in Detroit, or anywhere, for that matter.

There’s so much buying activity on the low end in Detroit, it’ll make your head spin.
