Buyer or Sellers market…?

ITS AN INVESTOR MARKET!

Cap rates have shifted. This isn’t a correction… It’s a reset

Single-family cap rates have gone from 5.3% → 7.3%
(in just 3 years) That’s a +194 basis point move

This is NOT a crash. It’s a structural repricing of real estate as an asset class

Same property. Same income.
Lower value.

Example:
$20K NOI

2021 Value: ~$377K @ 5.3% cap rate
Today: ~$274K @ 7.3% cap rate

= ~$100K paper loss

But here’s the truth:

- Rents are still rising
- Demand is still strong

The math changed…
not the opportunity

If you’re buying today: You’re buying at a DISCOUNT based on today’s risk-adjusted market

Smart investors aren’t asking:
“Where’s the bottom?” They’re asking:
“Does this deal work TODAY

If you’re underwriting
with 2021 assumptions…
You’re not investing.
You’re hoping

Want deals that work in TODAY’S market?

The market didn’t break — it repriced.

If you understand cap rates, you understand opportunity.

How do you pay almost ZERO property tax as an investor while also contributing to the growth of your city?? See below ⬇️💰

A lot of new investors in metro Detroit are looking for only cash flow just to find that raising property taxes are crushing returns….

smart investors are structuring deals, and taking advantage of tax credit programs for affordable housing

⸻

LIHTC (Low-Income Housing Tax Credit) is a federal tax incentive used to encourage investors to build or renovate affordable rental housing.

• The government gives tax credits to developers/investors
• In exchange, you agree to rent units at below-market rates to qualified tenants
• Those credits directly reduce your tax bill (dollar-for-dollar)

⸻

🏘️ Why LIHTC Benefits TENANTS

1. Affordable, Stable Rent
• Rents are capped below market
• Based on area median income (AMI)
Keeps housing accessible for working-class families

⸻

2. Better Quality Housing
• Most LIHTC properties are:
• Newly built OR fully renovated
Tenants get clean, safe, modern units (not slumlords)

⸻

3. Long-Term Stability
• Units must stay affordable for 15–30 years
Tenants aren’t constantly displaced by rent spikes.

⸻

🌆 Why LIHTC Benefits THE CITY

1. Revitalization Without Direct Spending
• Government doesn’t build housing itself
• It incentivizes private investors (like you) to do it
•Way more efficient than public housing

2. Reduces Blight + Vacancies
• Turns distressed properties into performing assets
Stabilizes neighborhoods block by block

3. Lower Crime + Better Communities
• Occupied, maintained housing =
Less vacancy, less crime, more pride in area

4. Economic Growth
• Creates:
• Construction jobs
• Property management jobs
• Local spending
Multiplies economic activity

⸻

The Big Picture

LIHTC is a win-win system:
• Tenants → Affordable, quality housing
• City → Stronger neighborhoods
• Investors → Tax breaks + stable returns

⸻

Cities aren’t just “allowing” these deals…
They need investors to execute them. If you want to start investing DM me “consult” and we can book a free one on one investment consult catered to your wealth building goals

A common mistake I see with new Real Estate Investors…. ❌🙅‍♂️

New Real Estate investors commonly say “I want to buy for just cash flow” or “I just want to fix and flip” or “i’m holding for appreciation in the long run”

While this is not wrong, there is a better way to approach investing in Real Estate. Real Estate investing does not have to be one demensional. Imagine how many deals you skip over being close minded to other strategies 🤯😳

When going into a real estate investment deal you ideally want at-least 2, preferably 3 exit strategies. This lowers risk, and increases chances of making a profit. Let me share with you my 3 exit strategies I personally use when analyzing a deal

1. Value add, and hold for cash flow. Commonly referred to as the “BRRRR” strategy. Buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. This is the ideal strategy as it creates an infinite return as you will more than likely be into the deal for $0 after the refinance and the asset will still cash flow.

But what if the rent isn’t enough to cash flow to cover the debt service, or to give you the proper return on investment you are looking for? Instead of skipping the deal let’s explore option 2…

2. Value add, and sell. Commonly referred to as “fix and flip” this is the perfect strategy to use when you have a deal with large upside in the renovation/rehab portion of the deal, but cannot cash flow enough to cover the debt service, or provide an ideal return on investment. This is a great way to raise capital quickly to help fund strategy #1

But what if it doesn’t cash flow enough, or there is not a lot of margin on the rehab, or it’s just simply a deal you don’t like based on location or other factors? YOU CAN STILL MAKE MONEY ON THE DEAL!

3. Wholesaling. This is a great strategy to use, and a strategy I use often when I have a deal that’s just not right for me, but it is for another buyer. This is where you lock up a deal at a certain price, and then sell your assignable interest (contract) to another buyer for a higher price to earn a consultant fee.

🚨 Why Investors Are Targeting Detroit Right Now

Cash flow > appreciation markets are back.

⸻

Why Detroit?

✅ Low Purchase Prices
✅ Strong Rent-to-Price Ratios
✅ High Rental Demand
✅ Landlord-Friendly State

In many areas, you can still buy under $120K and rent $1,200–$1,600/mo.

⸻

Example Detroit Deal:

Purchase: $110,000
Rehab: $20,000
All-In: $130,000

Rent: $1,450/month
Annual Gross: $17,400

Strong cash flow potential if managed correctly.

⸻

Popular Investor Areas:

📍 48224
📍 East English Village
📍 Warren
📍 West Side Brick Bungalows

Tenant demand + blue-collar workforce stability.

⸻

Biggest Mistakes I See:

❌ Underestimating holding costs
❌ Not factoring vacancy (5–8%)
❌ Skipping proper tenant screening
❌ Ignoring property taxes (Detroit non-homestead is higher)

Detroit rewards smart underwriting.

⸻

Detroit Strategy =

Buy Right
Renovate Smart
Refinance (BRRRR)
Hold Long Term

Cash flow today. Equity tomorrow.

📈 Investing in Metro Detroit? This is why now…

1. Market Potential

🏙️ Metro Detroit is seeing major revitalization & new investment — skyline growth, rehabs & rising interest from developers.

2. Affordability + Home value

🏡 Steep affordability vs the rest of the US
📊 Avg home value in Detroit ~ $74.5K (2026)📉
📊 Median sale price near $90–100K (2026)🏠
📍 Compare national medians ~ 4× higher — huge gap for value

Entry prices + strong upside = opportunity

3. Rental demand + Cash flow

💰 Rental trends you should know:
📊 Avg Detroit rent ≈ $1,300/mo (2026) 💼
📊 National avg rent nearly $1,900/mo — Detroit rents remain solid vs low prices
🏢 Nearly 50% of residents rent, fueling demand

Strong renter pool = predictable cash flow 📆

4. Downtown + High traffic areas

🌆 Downtown rental demand rising
📈 Downtown median rent ~ $2,175/mo (+27% YoY) ** **
📊 But fewer listings = competition for cash-flow assets

City-center assets are commanding strong rents 💸

5. Value play

📊 Buy vs Rent still favorable here:
✰ Ownership often more affordable vs renting vs most big cities (historical trend)** **
💰 Entry price leverage + rental demand = potential ROI

Buy low. Rent strong.
