Executive Summary
Detroit, the largest city in the State of Michigan, has emerged as a unique investment opportunity for the savvy investor. Undeniably affected by the US economic downturn, the large supply of under market value property combined with high demand for affordable housing in the Metro Detroit area, presents investors with low entry, high yielding opportunities in premium locations. This is an ethical investment opportunity that recycles houses, turning foreclosed (repossessed) and uninhabitable houses in the USA into refurbished, clean, safe homes for employed - low income families. This provides a much required service to a region struggling with a significant shortage of homes. With brick built detached properties available to won outright from only 18,200 and gross rental yields of 25%, now is the right time to invest

Detroit Property Investment - Entry to Exit


Experience International are working in Detroit with local property experts, the City housing department and property management professionals, on an investment opportunity to purchase refurbished foreclosed (repossessed) properties. We are focusing on Detroit, Michigan because there is an acute shortage of affordable housing for rent. We offer you, the investor, the benefit of a hands-off investment as the properties are all professionally managed. With the optional 5 year warranty the investor will only be required to pay property tax, property management costs and insure the property throughout ownership. The properties are fully refurbished to exceed US Department of Housing and Urban Development and City of Detroit standards and sold at 65% below peak prices. US Government Backed Returns All our Detroit partners work in conjunction with the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to place tenants under the Section 8 program. The rents are either all, or in the majority, paid by the US Government direct to the owner not the tenant. The properties are brick built, detached homes and are located in carefully selected communities where the population is increasing and existing properties are of a very high standard.

Why Detroit?
We are focusing on Detroit, Michigan because there is an acute shortage of affordable housing for rent. - Experience Internationals American partners Due to a previous lack of funding, population shift from the metro Detroit area to the sprawling suburbs, local government corruption and re-structuring of the automobile industry, the last four decades have seen a negative affect on the real estate industry in the City. The recent economic downturn in the USA as a whole had further exacerbated the situation until relatively recently. However, Detroit is fighting back.

The Section 8 Program


The Section 8 program has a one strike policy. Unlike the UK and other parts of Europe where unruly tenants just seem to get re-housed; this does not happen in the USA under Section 8. Tenants that are evicted from a Section 8 home lose any future right to join a Section 8 program anywhere in the USA, for life thereby securing your investment property. That also goes for any other occupants in the property above the age of 18, which ensures that Tenants do not abuse the property and treat it like their own home. This stance has resulted in an extremely low percentage of evictions and higher quality tenants. HUD conduct annual inspections of all Section 8 properties within the program before they re-issue guarantee vouchers. HOUSING ASSOCIATION VOUCHERS Currently, the city of Detroit has a waiting list of more than 9,200 pre-approved families with Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) who are currently in unsuitable, emergency or temporary accommodation, some simply can not find a suitable home. Throughout Wayne and Oakland county (which form large arts of metro Detroit) there are 37 Section 8 approved and funded authorities with thousands waiting to rent suitable homes. HOW RENT IS PAID The Government, through the Section 8 programme pays the Tenants percentage of the rent, which is normally 80% to 100%, directly to the owners management company. Additional amounts collected from each Tenant will also go into the client account.

Tenant Demand
Currently the Detroit Housing Associations are looking to provide as many Section 8 homes as possible. The figures in the Detroit Metro area are as follows:
SECTION 8 HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER WAITING LIST Extremely Low Income Families with Children Elderly Families Families with Disabilities 9176 7,764 8,345 632 896

Further, if we think there is a problem and the property is being mistreated in some way, the Tenant will have 30 days to rectify the issue. At this point, if there is still a failure by the Tenant to comply, the Section 8 authorities are then notified and brought in. This also includes non payment of any top up rents required. By the nature and set up of the program and the continued inspections by the management company your investment is monitored closely, thus ensuring peace of mind to an out of state or overseas investor.

My Experience
I made my first investment in Detroit in January; I received my first months rent within 4 weeks of taking ownership. This investment works and I will invest further. Michael from Hertfordshire I was pleasantly surprised by Detroit; the city is somewhere I would return to. The team are truly knowledgeable and went through the whole process both verbally and practically. The properties themselves are of a far higher quality than I thought and the renovations were first rate. This weekend was worthwhile and confirmed that this was an opportunity not to be passed on.
