you know with that being said today Wendy you know let's do a quick
introduction of yourself and I know we have a lot in the description
but tell me a little bit about yourself and then we'll get to how you got started okay good evening everybody my name is
Wendy Roberts Barber I'm a mother a wife and I have two young men
I have a 12 year old and a 34 year old and so how I got started into real
estate I originally I started a cleaning service and I did
that probably for about I'll see about four years four or five years and that was going really great I
had something to finish usas and then I had some other residential and it was kind of very challenging at
the time to try to find and keep proper help so that I was doing residential and I had 40 homes that I was doing by
myself and I kind of got overwhelming and then I branched out to the commercial and then after
some of the Finish USA's kind of closed down I kind of branched out and I was
investing into real estate I started off was going to do a home for a daycare
center but then I was getting calls for adults so I kind of house and provide a service
for people that will special needs so that was kind of like my Niche has kind of been my Niche for the last 15 plus
years so that's kind of what I've been doing okay that's awesome thank you so
so you you really had a a a a long career with you know what sometimes it
was jotting around real estate and not directly into real estate but in business and things like that and then
you ended up getting into it so tell me a little bit about how you got into
real estate I know you just went over a little bit of it so tell me a little bit more in depth like
did you did you think you could get in real estate going in well yes because I have always probably
was all about 12 or 13. I have all winning Real Estate and one of my dreams
is to eventually own an apartment building someday and so I started working at a mortgage
company and I was a head processor it was like two different mortgage companies and then I purchased my first
property my very first property though was in Flint Michigan okay so yes I purchased that and now you
know a distance I had a great tenant at the time so that was basically a buying hole and then I started branching off
and investing here in Detroit okay so what made you start doing Flint
was it just because that's the deal that showed up at that time
my manager over the office it was a deal they came through so I decided to purchase a
property which was a great deal at the time and so actually we still have that property
we got to go up there and do some work to it but it's kind of sitting right now but that was my very first
property and then I purchased another property where I moved into and I had that property and I kind of
got caught up in the mix where they had I had like seven seven to nine people on
my title and so that was my very first property with Remco and MCA mortgage
if you've been around they were like really big back then they were really investing in Highland Park
and then they had some you know a lot of properties here from my understanding and the Brightmoor area as well
so yes okay so
you know so you purchase your your personal property and you you that was in Detroit right yes that's correct okay
and then you moved out of that and turned it into a rental or no foreign
and they still have that property to this day and so
I sold and I moved on I bought some other properties here in the city and then I also got caught up in a mortgage
crisis which was 2003 or five I got caught up in that and then so I
kind of lost most of my property because it was underwater was that the 2008 one yes okay yes 2008 mortgage crisis okay
yes and and how many properties did you have during that time I had
eight I had eight properties with one lender I had buyers for all of
my properties but they didn't want they was like the the value was too low but I was offering each of my properties at
least about a hundred 100K and somewhere out like my primary property they end up selling for thirty thousand
dollars I was sick wow yes wow I I filed BK around in time okay trying to Savage
my credit I was paying close to ten thousand dollars a month trying to maintain my credit and save my privates
back then yeah and for anybody who doesn't know BK is bankruptcy
and you know it's a hard subject and I I gotta say
that sometimes people need a fresh start and that's why they have that okay
and you know I hate to say it but I did it myself you know I was the same way in
in 2016. okay I felt it was it was underwater and I
basically it felt like I was working for the banks I was working for the credit cards I was working for everybody and I
barely had enough to pay to even get groceries so
so yeah I ended up I ended up doing that as well declaring
bankruptcy and it it's a reset and it
gets you you're you start thinking about things a lot better
absolutely yeah you're like okay I don't ever want to go through that
absolutely very a very stressful time like my primary house and then I end up
purchasing another house trying to get that house before my credit got bad so
it was really it was a really bad time in my life you know yeah
it is a last resort by all means it's a last resort so
and you know it was it is definitely so I feel for you on that because I've
been through that you know I really do uh now with that when did
you start flipping houses so I haven't did a flip yet
which that is on the horizon that's coming up I've been looking at different places but my strategy for the
last several years has been buying whole and so again I provide services to
people with special needs and so some of the homes that I have is for them for my
seniors and some people with mental health or mental Wellness issues so I
like to provide a search for them and a nice home for them so that's my strategy at the present
time and then I also kind of then branched off into short-term rentals like the Airbnb yes
now does that uh does that do you get paid a premium for
doing that for doing the special needs and I mean is it guaranteed money like a
Section 8 or you know is it subsidized or anything like that do you go through
an agency to to be able to get all that or like how does that work
it's not subsidized however most they paid through their income
and then if they're in a licensed facility then you their income you get
an extra certain amount through Social Security and because it was like like a third party
they kind of have downsides
throughout the last I want to say like 10 years so like before like in the early 70s if you had a client you could
get us sometimes an extra two to three hundred dollars per day but now they they have to actually decreased the
amount so you basically kind of whatever the person could pay and what you're
charging but the best way kind of to do it is to kind of have a guardian for the more sake and then they'll make sure
that you get paid got it yes okay yeah because I have
heard of the say with was the substance abuse housing
they they usually have that those where those are going through an agency yes
and replace that and that's all guaranteed money through the agency itself
so you know there's also I didn't know if you it was the same same type of
thing with special needs it is but the bunny is not there like it
was I mean it's only a couple of population so yes and then if you're a non-profit though that could be very
helpful because you could get other grants and stuff that could help you you know to run your home
okay that that's awesome so you know obviously you're not a
non-profit right I am now oh you and you are now okay I am
okay so but for what advice do you have for
say other landlords that are out there do you like the Detroit Market are you
looking outside the Detroit like others are what is it about Detroit that you'd
like so much
first home homes in Southfield and I had a really nice home on Two Mile and Southfield
Road but it was I was renting the home but I definitely would like to somewhere down the line possibly get
another home in the suburbs or something like that yep
okay that's awesome yeah a lot of people a lot of my buyers they want to deal with suburbs not proper Detroit right
and I unfortunately like I understand their dilemma with that
but you know as long as I tell them as long as you got the processes in place
absolutely for the property the a good property management for the area of
Detroit that you're looking into like you're you're leaving a lot of
save money on the table there's a it's a lot of
the higher percentage of Roi is in Detroit it is we got a lot of hidden Jewels here
and so I love Detroit born and raised some continue to invest in Detroit and as I said it's
like I said we're leaving a lot of money on the table but it's also you know my saying is money in the hood and you know
oftentimes we overlooking that you know right and that's the thing like it's also bear
to entry you know absolutely is is a lot lower in certain areas there are
certain areas of Detroit that's they're outrageously expensive they're more expensive than suburbs well you know
yes Boston Edison is one of them you know really that's probably the
highest is okay you got four or five hundred thousand dollar houses you know six hundred thousand dollar houses in
Boston Edison oh absolutely yeah and then you know Virginia Park you're
you're still in in you know two or three three hundred thousand dollars you're at least a hundred thousand
dollars for a for a house that needs a hundred thousand dollars worth of work absolutely
so but you know the good thing is your
Roi on that because the ones in Virginia Park are probably you get a higher
return because either they're a duplex so you can get you can charge a lot more you know things like that so yeah you
can yeah but you know with that what areas of Detroit do you prefer
what areas I prefer ways
Way Seven Mile area there's a great area to invest I have invested over in
brightmore okay you know they're going to be building up soon
hopefully sometime soon and I will say you like you like bright
more huh yes as much you know yes I mean I know
a lot of investors who stay away from Brightmoor so you know I never come
across somebody who likes bright bars I'm over here now
I have another wholesaler friend of mine Taja and he has a t-shirt says
straight out of brightmore because he's from bright orange so yes I know Todd
so I think it's hilarious but most definitely I think it's you know the
bearer entry over in Brightmoor is a lot less yes but it I'm hoping the city is going
to put some money into it yeah they talking about it okay so and and that
that what I found is the key is wherever you see the city of Detroit putting money into that's where you want to go
absolutely absolutely absolutely if you go to these city meetings and you say okay next year we're going to put a
million two million dollars into this neighborhood buy it before they do that and now you're gonna get the
appreciation absolutely so and just ride the wave if you're a
Buy and Hold investor just ride that wave so that's a little tidbit by the way
yeah yeah because we had Bagley was
really up and coming yes they got they got really you know hit and then they
decided to go Detroit decided to put more money into Fitzgerald so now now Fitzgerald is
starting to come up a little bit more because of that so yeah Bagley is a great area to invest
that's what some of my homes were originally before I lost them in foreclosure and that was a great area I had my the house I was living in was
on Prairie Street I had a really nice 34 bedroom brick with a garage really
really nice yeah 600 square footage they sold it for 30
000 oh my God yeah I grew up right over by there actually so I went to Ferndale High
School I grew up at seven mile Woodward so okay or sorry no not seven eight mile
Woodward Ferndale so so I know that area actually pretty well
because yes it's a great area to invest like that's the Bagley area yes
so now what do you what do you consider
like your what's your worst deal that you've had in the past and then give you
your best deal my worst deal I had in the past
and you could even still own it now that's perfectly fine too so you know my worst deal was purchasing a
property
my worst deal was I had a house on Drexel Street and I was renting their
property I was going to purchase a property but then they went up probably like an
extra twenty or thirty thousand dollars okay and so I walked away from that property
and then I ended up moving from there because I was renting the downstairs and upstairs for like six years and then at
the time they might have been in 2005 or six maybe and then I moved on the west side and bought another two unit which
was over on Monica and which is the next block over from Oakman so I end up saving twelve hundred
dollars because I end up buying that house you know cash and then you know and
put some work into it and then at one point before the pandemic though
that was like a really money maker I could put seven people in that home for what I do
wow yeah okay so how is that your worst deal is just buying that property or
as far as buying it it was a if that was a good deal
one of the deals I did buy was off of Seven Mile I want to sell Westbrook kind of the area down there now kind of like
Beirut I don't it kind of looked worse than the blight more or
Brightmoor area I should say so that was kind of my worst deal because the foundation issue so I
realized now because I'm more Savvy that you got to look at the foundation I
think I purchased it home for like seven hundred dollars oh wow so yes it was a great deal for us
personally but then you know it said for a while and then the foundation was bad because because
it was so cheap I should say yep I didn't get an inspection so it wasn't
really worth my while so I don't have that particular home now so that was like the worst deal okay so did you fix that up at all or
did you just get rid of it no I got rid of it got it okay
now what's your best deal my best deal yeah I would say possibly
my primary home so when I lost the homes to the
Foreclosure I end up moved in a still decent neighborhood and
we end up paying like it was probably
we ended up getting for about twelve or fourteen thousand dollars wow okay and that was in what area
over in what area is that called like over
by a subdivision area that area okay yeah okay I mean that's a decent area it
is yeah and what is that how I mean I'm assuming
you still have that is that right yes I do I still have that home so what is that renting out right now well so
that's my primary home now so eventually okay yes oh okay mm-hmm awesome and so
that's your primary home you got it for Seven Seventeen thousand right twelve twelve thousand twelve thousand and
just imagine like paying cash for 12 12 or 14 000 now you don't really have a mortgage
and everything is going how much work did you have to put into the property
well we really don't have to put a whole lot of work into it
we might have put it like twenty thousand wow I'm gonna tell you right now these
California people out there if you're watching this like you spend more of that more on Starbucks coffee in a year
than you do what she just paid for her primary residence so that's crazy
so yeah no it's crazy that's nuts that's honestly that's more than what
like the cost of me replacing my roof
the funny thing about it too if I kind of been in a better position I probably I damnedly could have at least purchased
four other of five other homes on that block like one of the homes next to me is like running
seven thousand wow now what time what time was this was
this during the 2008 2009 I don't know about that okay so I I understand
why then okay because you know Banks were real you know my mom bought a a
house in Hazel Park and she bought it on a foreclosure in 2009 or not on on a short sale
she paid forty five thousand dollars for it she got a mortgage for it and everything
and that house right now is probably she can easily sell that for probably 150.
oh okay yeah so and that's just her living in it so
but with that being said so you know so that's your best deal what
what would you recommend to new people coming out through all the mistakes that you've had
okay we get a lot of new people who's just looking to invest okay
whether they're out of state whether they're not whether they're in state and they're just looking okay where can I
park some money for my day job or whatever my savings otherwise it's just sitting in an accountant doing nothing
you know what would you write what would you suggest to them foreign
especially if you are coming from out of town different states you definitely
should find somebody here that you can trust I'm oftentimes people coming from out of town they trust some of these
contractors and the contractor is have doing what they say they're going to do you definitely need to have somebody
check up on the contractors do not send any money down here unless you know they're doing what they're
doing supposed to be doing because a lot of contractors or investors have got scammed that way
a matter of fact we have an office in Southfield and if anybody want to hear listening from out of town and need some
assistance I'm one of the ones that they call boots on the ground so you definitely can call
our office and we kind of can help assist with that if you want somebody that you could trust and go by and check
to make sure the contract is doing what they say they're going to be doing and not if you gave them x y z and
they're doing it's supposed to be doing quality work you definitely want to make sure you have somebody to check behind them
this is Tracy Belinda she said that's
exactly what she's looking for boots on the ground and honestly like I've spoken with you before Tracy you got to build
your team no matter what and she just offered you know she has a place in
Southfield that she can be your boots on the ground so you can do that you can contact her contact me by all means
we'll we'll ask you at the end of the show how people can contact you so stick around to the end of the
show and we'll we'll have that but yeah that's awesome so you do boots on the ground for people out of
state I do I love what I do I have a passion
for it I'm kind of like the project manager on a land bank house
that we've been working on and so and even my last project that I worked on you have to have somebody that's kind
of that's very knowledgeable and going to make sure go in to check to make sure the contracts are doing they supposed to
be doing and you know being fair and it's when we're situation for everybody
most definitely and she just says she's coming to Detroit in July Tracy get a
hold of one of us when you get here I'm happy to you know we'll have be happy to take you out to lunch take you out to
dinner whatever it is and see where we can help you out so both of us either of us it's up to
you so happy to meet you and kind of go from there but now with that that's
really cool that you like to do that for people I'm kind of the same way but I
I strictly wholesale at the moment so I'm wholesaling with I get a lot of
properties or I work with a lot of people that get a lot of properties in Detroit and I come across a lot of them
and I do know the areas in Detroit and and look at the different prices and
things like that usually I try not to over price them or if I do post them they may be iffy like they may be on the
on the borderline but we gotta try it we gotta try to squeeze every dollar we can out of them so you know unfortunately
but they still got to be a good deal no matter what no matter what you price it at
always still try to run your numbers the way you want to run your numbers that's what I tell all my buyers no matter what
okay and I'll even teach you how to run the numbers no problem
you know I'll teach them how to run the numbers now and if it doesn't work for
your because every investor is different on the ROI that they want to get so I
can't tell an investor like for instance if you're the investor I can't tell you what Roi do you need
you know right right so because you might be happy with 10 percent
and you might be you're like oh no for the risk in Detroit I need at least 18.
you know so who knows right right that's why I
always ask my my investors what what is your formula what are you looking for
I did some wholesaling yeah yeah but I guess it really stick
with it it was I guess it kind of was moving kind of slow in a sense but yes okay yes it's moving kind of
slow wholesalers usually move pretty fast maybe it was some of the deals and the
person I was working with you know maybe well anytime anytime you come across a deal
that you want to possibly wholesale I'm always open to JV with people okay
I'm happy to work with you I work I work with anybody but I I give my open and
honest opinion as long as you take my honest opinion then we're good so that's good that's nice to know
yeah so tell me so before we kind of move on to what you're doing now tell me

and you know I always tell people this when you work with a contractor try them out on small jobs first
absolutely how they work and then work your way up you know for in each
individual thing you know and kind of go from there so because you don't want to hand them a
whole full a full Renault and now you're into them for fifteen thousand dollars
and they get halfway through the project and now they don't want to finish you know
about that so you know and then they walk off with their money because what
they did is they they took your money and paid the last job that they had to
finish the last job and now they're planning if they if they're out gonna
finish your job they're planning to take the money from the next job rob Peter and pay Paul you know
and that's not a good way to run a business by any means so absolutely it's
not and we got to level up and we're going to be putting on other monthly events networking events here in the
city we're going to be putting on events like that and just one of the things we're going to be talking about is contractors showing up in excellence and
stuff because often some of the contractors they are Rob and Peter pay Paul and they're not really taking care
of business and we want to teach them those type of things yeah most
definitely and the thing is is that I think for the past couple years we've had where contractors can get away with
anything because we had we had a shortage of contractors oh absolutely and I think we're come to the a
medium point right now where at least we got we got contractors but now the
work's dying down so yes so it's coming becoming a little bit more competitive you know or it's
coming becoming a lot less competitive let me replace it and rephrase that so now
I really want to see everybody there now what we're going to try to do I can't guarantee you we do now every day
this week we're gonna try to bring on another speaker so we're gonna have I
know I only do this every other week okay but going forward every day if if I
can get somebody that is it's big in if I can get one of the speakers to come on with me
every night we're gonna do a another alive and try to go from there and and
that way you get an idea of what's happening and what you're gonna get on Saturday so I honestly think that
