Detroit, USA
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

Why Detroit?

The recent economic downturn in the USA as a whole had further exacerbated the situation until relatively recently. However, Detroit is fighting back. We see 2012 as the right time to invest in Detroit because: Economic and Political

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.
