Yes, our founders are investors and we offer investment opportunities in the same strategic areas where they have invested. Our management team follows the same investor-focused operational process used for their own Investments as well, striving to maximize your rental return while abiding by all city requirements. 

We offer homes in different neighborhoods throughout Detroit and Southeast Michigan, in both bungalow and colonial styles. Some homes have brick exteriors and others have vinyl or aluminum siding. They generally have 2 to 3 rooms, 1 or 2 bathrooms, a basement and a large patio. Some have a garage as well.

Our properties are all located within the 7 strategic areas that the municipality has defined as where to focus all public and private investments and development. We typically invest outside the city’s perimeter, where a large portion of the urban population has moved to during the last few years. These neighborhoods all have schools and/or a university nearby, as well parks, supermarkets, restaurants, banks, shops and a hospital. It is also important that they have easy access to freeways and to downtown Detroit.

The investment process is simple and can be done remotely, regardless of what country you are in, in around 2 weeks. We work with a licensed title company and one of the largest in the United States, which will:  

• Perform an extensive search on each property to make sure it has no encumbrances or debts. 
• Coordinate the closing transaction and verifying that all the documentation is in order. 
• Provide a property title under the investor’s name.
• Issue a title insurance policy from a well-respected insurance company, guaranteeing  that the title is clear of any encumbrances. 
• Receive and reserve the funds from the investor in its escrow account, until the proper property transfer has taken place and the title insurance policy is issued. Only after this process is complete, the funds are disbursed to Nisus Real Estate.

We take all the precautionary measures to ensure our transactions take place safely and free of any inconvenience:

• We work with a renown and accredited title company, one of the largest in the country, that is responsible for guaranteeing smooth transfer of title, free of any encumbrances and debts.
• This same title company provides a title insurance policy, from a solid and well-respected insurance company, that will protect you in case any problem arises with the property title.

• For additional security, your funds are transferred not directly to Nisus Real Estate but to the title company’s escrow account, where they remain reserved until the title company acknowledges that the property transfer has been completed and that you have your title insurance policy.

• The title company also publicly records the transfer of title, and the U.S. law protects private property.

The title insurance, which is paid by the investor (buyer) warrants a smooth title transfer to the new owner and that the title is clear of any debts and encumbrances. It also guarantees that the funds related to the transaction are distributed as established in the closing documents.

The closing costs, which are paid to the title company, include the title company´s fees for carrying out the transaction and all the costs and expenses related to the title transfer and public recording under the new owner.

In Michigan, transfer of title of a real property is done through a state licensed title company. This company will manage the entire transaction, from the buyer and seller´s side, being responsible for: 1) preparing and signing all the closing documentation; 2) the correct transfer of funds between buyer and seller; and 3) issuing the title insurance policy; and 4) publicly recording the new title.

Although we are not legal advisors and we cannot provide legal advice, the differences lie mainly in maintenance costs and confidentiality of the members. Michigan offers economic LLC maintenance services and its members remain confidential.
