Buy and Hold Sourcing in Detroit: what to expect
Buy and hold sourcing in Detroit means finding single family homes and small multifamily buildings that an investor plans to rent out and keep, not resell. Wholesalers and acquisition services look for owners who want to sell quietly, then pass the contract or property to an investor who will renovate, lease and manage it.
Rental math in Metro Detroit depends heavily on the street and the city. A brick bungalow in Warren, a duplex in Dearborn and a colonial on Detroit's east side carry very different taxes, insurance and repair needs. In Detroit, a rental must be registered, pass a BSEED inspection and hold a Certificate of Compliance before it is legally rented, and many suburbs run their own rental inspection programs.

What a good engagement includes
- Your buy box in writing: areas, property type, bedroom count and condition
- Property details with photos, tax records and water account status
- Current lease copies and rent roll if the home is occupied
- A repair scope based on an inspection or contractor walkthrough
- Local rental registration and inspection requirements for the city
- Title commitment and a clear path to closing
What drives the fee
- Purchase price plus any assignment or finder fee
- Renovation needed to pass the local rental inspection
- Property taxes, which can change after a sale uncaps taxable value
- Insurance for a non owner occupied property
- Lead paint work in pre-1978 housing
- Vacancy, tenant turnover and property management
- Whether you pay cash or use investor financing
Rebuild Detroit does not publish fees. Ask each attorney to explain the fee basis in writing and compare.
Licensing and legal checks in Michigan
Michigan has no separate wholesaler license, but the Occupational Code defines a real estate broker broadly (MCL 339.2501): anyone who, for a fee, sells or offers to sell real estate or negotiates a sale for others. Selling your interest in a purchase contract is generally treated differently than marketing a house you do not own, but where that line falls depends on the facts. Ask whether the wholesaler holds a license through the State License Search, and have a real estate attorney review your contract.
Detroit requires rental registration, inspection and a Certificate of Compliance through BSEED; suburbs such as Warren and Southfield have their own rental rules. Confirm with the city where the property sits, not the mailing city.

How to compare attorneys
- Send the same buy box to several sources so the deals are comparable.
- Verify rents against current listings, not the seller's estimate.
- Pull the tax history and ask the city about rental registration status.
- Get an inspection and a contractor bid before your due diligence ends.
- Have a title company and attorney review the deal before closing.
