The American government are behind the Detroit property market

Detroit’s real estate market is now fighting back with the help of the Department of Housing and Urban Development scheme (HUD), along side a collaboration of city officials, business people, politicians and property investors. President Barack Obama has himself stated his support the regeneration of Detroit in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 2009.

Detroit property investors can benefit from an ethical investment that recycles houses, changing foreclosed and uninhabitable properties back into homes for the employed, low-income sector. And with a waiting list of over 9,000 tenants waiting to be one of the privileged people to live in one of the newly desirable homes, there certainly is the demand.

But how does the HUD programme work? Well of vital importance the HUD and HCV programme has a ‘one strike policy’, unlike the UK and other parts of Europe where unruly tenants get re-housed, this can not happen under this scheme, which is a huge attraction for investors. Tenants that are evicted from the HUD scheme home anywhere in the USA thereby securing the investment homes. Through HUD the government pays the tenant’s % of the rent, normally 80-100%, directly to the owner’s management company so investors are not reliant on collecting rents from the tenants personally.

As mentioned earlier currently the City of Detroit has a waiting list of more than 9,200 pre-approved families with Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) who are currently in unsuitable, emergency or temporary accommodation, some simply cannot find a suitable home.

Understanding the HUD programme leaves three more crucial elements to the investor puzzle. Which are the tasks of finding and purchasing the right houses in the best locations, refurbishing the property to government standards and managing the properties and tenants.
