Results built through partnership.
Detroit investors trust IPS to help them grow portfolios, improve occupancy, and stay informed through consistent communication.
“IPS Management helped grow our real estate portfolio from 0 properties to over 20 homes. They helped us every step of the way from acquisition and decision-making to renovation and leasing. We are looking to grow our investment portfolio to 50 homes in Detroit and at least one apartment building, and IPS Management will be our go-to company to assist us in achieving our goals.”
“We reached out to IPS when our 14-unit apartment building was being mismanaged by another company. IPS Management stepped in and has helped us raise our occupancy level from 50% to 93%. Once the final unit is renovated and leased, we will be at 100% occupancy.”
“We started our investment journey in Detroit in 2014. Now we have 10 homes managed by IPS. The communication and reporting are very consistent. We receive monthly financial statements as well as monthly updates on each property. This allows us to stay on top of how our investments are doing.”
