How to invest in Detroit as a Canadian 



The next real estate investment markets for Canadians may well NOT be in Canada. As the markets in Canada continue to offer less investing upside either because of expensive inventory, higher interest rates or lower cash flow, many real estate investors are starting to look South of the border.

Is the market that much different in the US? If you look at the more popular areas like California or New York then there is little difference between them and Toronto or Vancouver.

But take a look at cities with a more recent downside and there are plenty of opportunities. Detroit is one such market. Our podcast guests those week, Voytek Mardula and James Lloyd of US Properties.ca have been focused on Detriot for the last 5+ years and have local knowledge and expertise and a full turnkey operation that makes it so much more seamless for Canadians to consider investing in the US.

In this episode you will learn about:

  • Why Detroit is not seeing the drop off of other markets.
  • Growth opportunities for investors in Detroit.
  • What to consider when investing in the US as a Canadian.
  • Local financing options versus Canadian money sources.
  • The best Detroit neighbourhoods for cash flow and appreciation
