City officials and associated stakeholders have launched over a dozen programs and initiatives aimed at garnering interest from investors looking to find rental opportunities.  Entrepreneurs, [Millennials](https://www.jmzmanagement.com/jmz-blog/renting-to-millennials), and long-time returning residents have all descended upon Detroit Metro to [start businesses and refuel the burgeoning city’s economy](http://fortune.com/2019/01/02/detroit-cities-urban-renewal-innovation/), making it a hotbed for all types of economic opportunities.    The [strongest opportunities](https://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Detroit-Michigan/market-trends/) for out-of-state landlords exist in neighborhoods such as Novi, Farmington Hills, West Bloomfield, and Detroit Metro where the undervalued deals exist. Multi-million dollar transactions frequently occur in real estate pockets throughout Detroit Metro where investors can make huge deals and secure residual revenue through promising rentals.   While the sales numbers may not look impressive on paper initially — $100,000 deal here and a $50,000 investment there — the investments can add up and turn into promising rental prospects as the Detroit Metro economy continues to blossom.  ![watch with time to invest written on it](https://www.jmzmanagement.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Depositphotos_7784701_xl-2015.jpg?width=600&name=Depositphotos_7784701_xl-2015.jpg) ## Detroit Metro Real Estate Market Trend According to Zillow, the median home value in Detroit Metro is currently $25K to $30K. While that may seem low, values have skyrocketed by 12% over the past year and should continue to increase by just over five percent within the next year.    Trulia reports that the market trend indicates an increase of $4,000 in median home sales since the beginning of 2018. The average per-square-foot (PSF) price rose to $45, up from $42. Reports indicate that the average PSF price in Detroit Metro is just over $400 and midtown’s average coming in at just over $300 PSF. Areas such as Novi, Farmington Hills, and West Bloomfield have homes at $136 to $165 PSF. You can find even better deals in areas such as Bagley where real estate run as low as $41 PSF. ## The Detroit Metro Rental Market is on the Rise The median rental price in Detroit Metro is currently $800/month. Compared to other similar metro areas in the U.S., rental rates are lower, making them more affordable. Low rent rates combined with endless employment opportunities were top factors for couples and families deciding to move to Detroit Metro. New house and apartment construction have increased by nearly 180% since 2017, as developers have added over 2,500 new rentals to the market over the last 18 to 24 months. ## How to Break into the Detroit Metro Real Estate Market One of the best ways to take advantage of real estate investment opportunities in Detroit Metro is to partner with a Detroit Metro property management company. [JMZ Property Management](https://www.jmzmanagement.com/) offers comprehensive services for out-of-state investors looking to break into the Detroit Metro Real Estate Market.  We can help you strengthen your portfolio while providing ongoing management for your rental properties.
