Feelin the Detroit City heat and loving it!

I've traveled to Detroit this week to meet my team and meet some new members of our expanding team.

Looks like I came at the right time as the weather here is scorching hot! must be mid 30's everyday - beats old blighty right now!

We've got so much going on here, property purchasing for clients, refurbishments, inspections, tenant screening, title work, new areas we're looking at investing in, land contracts, the list is endless.

It's not all work though. Downtown Detroit is lots of fun. Shopping centres, IMAX cinemas, Detroit Tigers played yesterday (I missed the game by the way,) bars and restaurants. I'd definitely recommend taking a visit here if you get the chance.

Detroit's housing market continues to strengthen. Lots of demolishen of old redundant neighborhoods being converted into parks, and scenic areas within the city. Demand for rental property is soaring amongst investors and we feel this first hand. Section 8 are struggling to keep up with demand to do their inspections, which although frustrating for us and our clients, it is still a very good problem to have!

All in all a Detroit is a great city, business or pleasure, and I'd totally recommend putting it on your itinerary.

As for me, today I'm going back into downtown Detroit to do some shopping and then back to Dearborn for some more meetings with some of our team members this afternoon, then back to Plymouth to watch a movie and some dinner - well, I can't work all the time!
