Detroit Off-Market Properties™

Local Inventory. Global Capital.

Invest in Detroit Before the Market Does

A curated exchange of off-market residential opportunities for out-of-state and international investors seeking compelling value in one of America's most distinctive real estate markets.

For international and out-of-state investors

Acquire with the same confidence as a local buyer

Distance should not mean disadvantage. The exchange is structured so a buyer in Singapore or San Diego evaluates the same evidence a Detroit operator would.

Built for cross-border buyers

Time-zone aware advisory, remote walkthroughs, and documentation prepared for buyers purchasing from outside the United States.

Entity and title guidance

Coordination with title companies familiar with LLC, trust, and foreign-national purchase structures.

Underwriting you can audit

Every projection is shown with its assumptions so you can test them against your own model before committing capital.

Post-close continuity

Introductions to vetted contractors, property managers, and insurers operating in the specific submarket.

Two ways to build

Choose your return — we match properties to it

Every investor wants something different from Detroit. Tell us which number matters to you and the exchange only surfaces houses whose figures can get you there.

the BRRRR play

BRRRR equity return

Buy, renovate, rent, refinance, repeat. The number that matters is the equity you pull back out at refinance — $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 or more on the right house, often within 90 days of stabilization. Tell us your target and we match you to properties underwritten to return it.

“What do you want back out after your refi?”

the hold play

Net ROI

For buy-and-hold investors, the number that matters is annual net return after taxes, insurance, management, vacancy and maintenance — not a glossy gross yield. Every listing shows its operating assumptions so you can audit the net figure yourself.

“What net return are you trying to achieve?”

The Detroit thesis

Replacement cost, not speculation

Detroit remains one of the few major American markets where quality pre-war housing trades meaningfully below the cost of building it again. That gap — combined with rents supported by a diversified employment base — is the foundation of the thesis.

It is not a market that rewards buying at scale from a spreadsheet. It rewards precision at the block level, which is exactly what the exchange is designed to provide.

Block-by-block knowledge

In Detroit, the street matters more than the city

Corridor proximity

Two identical houses six blocks apart can differ 30% in resale value. We map opportunities against commercial corridors, school catchments, and active redevelopment.

Occupancy patterns

Owner-occupancy rates and vacancy clustering are tracked street by street — the strongest predictor of long-term value on Detroit's east and northwest sides.

Municipal exposure

Tax assessment history, water liens, demolition activity, and land bank inventory are reviewed before an opportunity enters the exchange.
