Detroit Real Estate Investment Fund: Phase I

Breathing New Life into Blighted Neighborhoods and Building Generational Wealth, One Distressed Property at a Time

At Rebuild Detroit, we are firm believers in a basic truth: Detroit’s neighborhoods don’t need to be reinvented by outsiders with no stake in its story. 

They need to be reclaimed by the people who are already here.

That’s where Phase I of the Detroit Real Estate Investment Fund comes in.

Here, we are focused on restoring blighted properties in historically significant areas of Detroit. 

Unlike speculative investing, our method is targeted, local, and focused on hands-on restoration centered around equity.  

The process is simple:

We purchase distressed homes, restore them with care and an eye for quality, and flip them to first-time homeowners and qualified cash buyers.

This creates a pipeline of generational wealth for Detroit locals, all while delivering high returns to investors.

As for the main neighborhoods we are targeting in Phase one, our initial focus is on four key Detroit ZIP codes that have proven themselves to be overflowing with potential: 

48227: The Grandmont-Rosedale zone, which has seen emerging interest from buyers and investors thanks to its accessible infrastructure

48228: The Warrendale area, known for its homes with good bones and fierce resident loyalty

48219: Northwest Detroit, an area heavy on pride yet low on capital

48221: The zone that is home to the iconic Bagley, Schulze, and Fitzgerald, where you’ll find gorgeous classic brick homes that carry a high value even if they are heavily neglected

These areas are our Phase I focus thanks to their winning combination of location, architectural quality, and low entry, making them popular choices for first-time homeowners such as millennials and Gen Z buyers, cash investors, and returning residents.

Investment Theory

Detroit’s suburban real estate has been one of the most overlooked and undervalued markets in the country for decades, despite its downtown and midtown areas attracting much institutional capital and corporate attention.

Phase I of Rebuild Detroit’s Real Estate Investment Fund looks to fill that gap. Our plan is to:

• Obtain deeply undervalued homes through land bank auctions, off-market deals, and tax foreclosures
• Restore properties to make them code-compliant and move-in-ready
• Resell rehabbed properties to mortgage-ready first-time homeowners and cash buyers
• Rinse, wash, and repeat by reinvesting gains into new acquisitions, which will in turn benefit the entire community and foster stability in the neighborhoods that need it the most

With Rebuild, each property acquired is treated as a long-term investment, not just a flash-in-the-pan flip. 

Investor Benefits

By signing up as a Phase I investor, you aren’t just guaranteed a constant stream of returns. You’ll be securing a piece of Detroit’s bright future.

With Rebuild, your capital goes to work for you immediately right here in your own hometown, rather than being funneled into abstract markets or foreign developments.

Here’s the rundown: 

• Minimum investment needed: $25,000
• Projected hold period: 12-18 months maximum 
• Target return: 18-25% annually
• Investor updates: Regular meetings, monthly reporting, quarterly financials, as well as video and photo walkthroughs

At its core, Rebuild Detroit is hyper-local, value-centered, and rehab-savvy. 

 We offer:

·     Local Advantage

Our real estate team includes everyone from Detroit natives to renovation specialists to licensed brokers and market-aware data analysts.

·     Off-Market Access

Our properties are sourced long before they’re listed, utilizing a combination of auction tracking, quiet title processes, and referrals.

·     Block-Focused Strategy

Our investments aren’t scattered. Instead, we cluster them, focusing our attention on neighborhoods with at least 50% owner-occupancy rates.

·     High-quality Renovation 

All of our renovation work is well-crafted, code-compliant, and done under the proper permits and licensing.

By partnering with nonprofits and mortgage advisors, we prepare Detroit locals for home ownership and reduce buyer churn, all while stabilizing property values, benefiting local construction contractors, and creating safer, cleaner blocks. 

Don’t just invest with us.

We encourage you to get involved: walk properties, meet with buyers, and witness the change firsthand.

After all, we’re playing the long game here.

Detroit is a legacy city in the middle of a groundbreaking reinvention. 

Phase I of Rebuild’s Real Estate Investment Fund is just the start.

After we build out a strong proof-of-concept across our first cluster of targeted ZIP codes, Phase II and III will further expand our reach and scale, affording early investors first look rights for future rounds as well as special terms for multi-property bundles.
