Show Notes
Voytek Mardula and James Lloyd explain how out-of-state investors are building cash-flowing rental portfolios in Detroit with full turnkey support.
In this episode of RealDealChat, Jack Hoss sits down with Voytek Mardula and James Lloyd of usproperties.ca, a fully turnkey real estate operation that has bought, renovated, and sold over 600 homes in the Detroit market over nine years.
What started as their own search for cash flow in an expensive Canadian market turned into one of the most comprehensive turnkey operations serving out-of-state and international investors. They break down exactly how they source, renovate, manage, and scale properties for their clients, including a growing short-term rental division that is outperforming expectations with AI-powered pricing.
Key topics covered:
- Why Detroit is still one of the most undervalued real estate markets in the country
- How Voytek and James identify B and B-plus neighborhoods with double-digit appreciation potential
- Why they focus exclusively on single-family homes over multifamily and what they learned the hard way
- The Section 8 strategy that held strong through COVID and recessionary periods
- How their short-term rental division works, including fully furnished turnkey packages at 15% management
- The AI pricing software that increased bookings immediately after launch and why it removes the emotional "race to the bottom" in STR pricing
- BRRRR and DSCR lending strategies to recycle equity into more doors within 18 to 24 months
- Real investor stories: clients who reached 12 to 13 properties and got all their initial capital back through refinances
- How AI voice agents are changing their investor intake and customer service operations
If you are sitting on capital and looking for an affordable market with real cash flow, genuine appreciation, and a team that handles everything, this episode is the blueprint.
