The Hidden Cost of Owning Rental Property in Detroit

Описание: Owning rental property in Detroit comes with costs that rarely appear on spreadsheets.

This video breaks down the real, post-closing friction investors face, including aggressive city enforcement, illegal dumping, strict garbage rules, aging sewer and water infrastructure, potholes, flood-prone areas, and how these issues compound over time. Individually, each challenge may be manageable. Together, they create an ownership experience that demands far more attention, patience, and capital than most investors expect.

This episode is part of a larger series examining the full lifecycle of Detroit rental property investing, from acquisition and ownership to exits, and why understanding post-closing realities is critical before deploying capital in high-friction markets.

In the next episode, we explore why the same rental strategy often feels dramatically different just outside the city.
