Understanding the Detroit Mentality - Lessons in Reality - Part 1

Despite all that you hear in the news about Detroit, the bankruptcy, the crime and such, there is a lot of positive momentum occurring in the city. Starting from the revival of downtown Detroit, like a booming quake, this revival is rippling throughout the city in a wave like pattern and residents are beginning to see the long awaited turn around they've been holding on to hope for.

If you are not from Detroit, it may be difficult for you to understand the unique and different mentalities that Detroiters have. There are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of life long residents who have never forsaken the city, even in the worst of times. These residents have lived through the riots, lived through the rise and survived through the fall. These residents have raised children here and their children's children are born and raised here. They are tough. They are resilient. They are savvy. They are survivors. They are Detroiters.

Once you live in a city for decades, you get a real good feel for the city. You know where to go and where not to go. You know the places that are safe and the places to avoid. You know the good places to shop. You know where the good schools are. You know the good parts of your city. You know the bad parts of your city. You know where to go find a good deal. You know the places that will rip you off. You know your way around and you've explored most of the city. You probably have friends and even family that live in different parts of the city that you visit regularly. It's the same here for the people that live in Detroit. They know their city.

As an investor, from the outside looking in, it may be difficult to understand how one block can look beautiful and well preserved and the next block over looks war torn with vacant and burnt up houses and not a soul in site. However, to us Detroiters, this is a common phenomenon. This is called 'block for block'. Another common phenomenon is seeing a street that on one end is completely vacant with burnt up and abandoned houses and by the time you get to the other end of the same block, it looks beautiful and completely occupied. It may sound strange, but this is true. Detroiters have a knack for knowing the right blocks and right streets to live on. To an outsider, it may be hard to figure this out but for us Detroiters, it is common knowledge.

You know, what's interesting about Detroit is that even in some of the best kept neighborhoods, there are still certain blocks that you don't want to be caught on when the sun goes down. And then on the flip side, there are certain blocks in rough areas that are beautiful and completely occupied and it makes you wonder. Sometimes, you see big, beautiful brick homes that look great on the internet. Wow! You say, 'this is a nice looking neighborhood'. But depending on exactly where it is at, you might not want to invest over there.

For example, let's take the Joy Rd and Wyoming Rd area. This area has some nice homes. However, it is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the city and people aren't really trying to live over there unless they have no other option. Yes, the houses are nice, but it's alot of criminal activity over there and people want to move somewhere else, almost as quickly as when they first move in. Now, if you didn't know this, you might wonder after you buy a house in this area, why people seem to keep moving out every few months and you can't keep a tenant. This is why. And there are many areas like this. You almost have to be a Detroiter to know these types of things.

To Detroit Real Estate Investors who live out of state...

Hi Friend,

You deserve to know the truth about the Detroit properties that you will be investing in.You deserve to know all you can find out about the area, the neighborhood, the neighbors, the residents. You deserve to know how the locals feel about the areas and neighborhoods that the properties are located in. You deserve to know these things before you invest your hard earned money in a city that you are not familiar with.

You need to be made aware of not only the great rewards but also the great risks involved in investing in Detroit real estate. You need to have the inside track and boots on the ground. You need to have somebody that is watching out for you and your best interests. You need somebody who was born and raised in Detroit and who knows the city like the back of their hand. You need somebody who will tell you the unbiased truth about your properties, the neighborhoods, the areas, the local market conditions and the true market values. You need not only someone who is licensed, experienced and professional but also someone who has direct knowledge of the neighborhoods and direct access to the pertinent information that you need to make a well informed buying decision.

My name is Anthony Legins, Detroit Real Estate Expert and Author of 'The Detroit Real Estate Handbook - Everything You Need To Know Before Investing In Detroit Real Estate'.I am also the CEO and Principle Associate Broker for RBS Real Estate located in Detroit, MI.

As a lifelong Detroit area resident and licensed real estate professional for the past 10 years, I am in a unique position to offer you incredible and knowledgable insight into the Detroit real estate market. Not only can I provide you property analysis, reports, and videos, I can provide you inside direct knowledge about your properties and the neighborhoods they are in.

I have lived in the city and own and manage properties through out the city. I still have good friends and family that live in the city. In most cases, if an area is questionable, I can easily make a phone call for you to few different people I know who will tell me the 'real deal' inside scoop on the area. And of course, I do all of these things to serve you.

While there are great areas of opportunity and the numbers look good on paper and the Google Earth photos look OK, there are many areas that are known by local residents as undesirable to live. It may be because of safety, theft, drugs or heavy blight.You name it. But you need and deserve to know this type of inside knowledge because you will be renting to local residents. If you buy in the wrong area or on the wrong block, you will face difficult vacancies and your property may sit unoccupied and open to neighborhood thieves and squatters. Then your money is down the drain.

The good news is that this doesn't have to happen with you. I provide a wide variety of services to assist you. You deserve first rate, quality service provided by an experienced and local professional who will consult you. I provide this and much more. You will feel safe and secure that you are making a good investment decision. You will know that you are not investing in a 'war zone' area or a property with a crumbling foundation surrounded by vacant and abandoned properties.

What I would like to do is talk to you, one-on-one, or with a group of your friends and discuss with you briefly about the realities of the Detroit real estate market. I would like to share with you the rewards and the risks and how to best safeguard your investment. I would like to talk with you, discuss your investment goals, your ideas and your strategies and share my knowledge and insight with you. I would like to discuss with you the services I provide and why they make sense and can potentially save you $1000s.

Until then, good luck and I sincerely wish you success in your investing endeavors!

Anthony Legins
