    Hi all,
    we have been investing in the US now for approx 2 years. Most recently has been Detroit. April 2019 will mark our 12 month anniversary of our first purchase. In May I will be writing an account of our journey.
    Cheers

    Hi all. As i noted above we are close to our first 12 months of investing in Detroit. Lots of information to impart so those interested in investing in Detroit stay tuned over the next few weeks. It will be an honest account of our journey, covering off on the good, the bad and the ugly -including financials and obstacles along the way.

    The US economy overall is a picture in contradictions nationally and then locally. Roaring stock market and low unemployment, with some wage rise now at low end as well nationally.

    However at local level you have urban centers flourishing, particularly those with hi-tech, healthcare, government, military/industrial, financial services, etc. as part of their economic base vs. rural and older economy cities stagnant or going backwards.

    All this feeds into local housing trends. Which leads to Detroit and surrounds which is going through a tech renaissance but at the same time has vast areas of ghost towns with low-tech manufacturing jobs not coming back, replaced by automation. The younger professional has a different idea of what they want with housing and I think Detroit will be at the forefront of the re-making of the typical American city in the 21st century.

    Hi tiagodanda, the reason for the May write up is it will be 12 months from first purchase. We wanted to be able to give an accurate presentation of our 12 month journey - including all financials. Anything under the 12 month time frame we felt wouldn't give a true picture of our experience.
