How We Operate Differently

Traditional PM Model

Our Model

💸 Outsources maintenance to general contractors who add 20-40% markup on every job

🔨 We only pay the guy that swings the hammer—no middlemen. We use in-house employees or directly pay workers for specific jobs.

🌍 Manages everything: luxury condos, commercial spaces, market-rate apartments across multiple cities

🎯 Laser-focused exclusively on Detroit Section 8 properties. Our expertise isn't diluted across property types.

🪑 Property managers shuffle paperwork and respond to tenant requests—reactive, detached, going through the motions

👷 We're in the trenches, hands-on with every property. Small enough to care about each owner and tenant personally, big enough to have real resources and systems.

📋 Generic software and cookie-cutter processes designed for "any" property type

⚙️ Custom-designed technology, processes, systems, and team built exclusively for Section 8 property management.

About Detroit Section 8 Property Management

We're not your typical property management company.

While other PMs try to be everything to everyone, we made a radical choice: focus exclusively on Section 8 property management in Detroit. No market-rate rentals. No commercial properties. Just Section 8—and we've become damn good at it.

Our team in the field - inspecting properties hands-on, not from behind a desk

Our Philosophy: Cut the Fat, Maximize Returns
The property management industry is bloated with unnecessary middlemen and outdated processes. We stripped all that away. We pay the people who swing the hammers. We use AI to eliminate administrative overhead. We leverage technology to do more with less.

Detroit Through and Through
We're not some out-of-state corporation managing properties from a spreadsheet. We're Detroit natives who understand these neighborhoods, these properties, and this market. We know which contractors actually show up. We know which blocks are turning around. We know Detroit.

Why Section 8 Only?
Section 8 properties have unique challenges—and massive opportunities. The regulations are complex. The inspections are stringent. The tenant coordination requires expertise. Most PMs treat Section 8 as an afterthought. For us, it's the entire thought. When you specialize this deeply, you find efficiencies and opportunities that generalists miss.

From distressed to rent-ready - we handle full renovations with our direct contractor network

Our Commitment to You
We exist for one reason: to maximize the profitability of your Section 8 investments. Every system we build, every technology we implement, every contractor we vet—it all serves that single goal. No fluff. No corporate speak. Just results.
