ABOUT: Brick + Beam Detroit will present a four-part, in-person educational series on Racism in Property Ownership in Detroit. Online blogs and videos on our website will supplement the in-person series with additional resources to call for awareness and change today. Join us on July 25th for the fourth and final forum in the series.
Investing in Yourself - Invest in Detroit
Now that we understand the past and how it connects to the present - how can we invest in real estate in Detroit today? This session will look at investing into Detroit from two different perspectives: personal ownership and community investment. For personal ownership we will learn how mortgages work, purchasing a city owned property though the land bank, and tips for figuring out how to maintain a historic property once it is yours. For community investment we will learn from what neighborhood organizations are doing in Detroit today and how to fund community investment projects.

Orlando Bailey, Director of Engagement at Bridge Detroit
Joe Rashid, Executive Director at East Warren Development Corporation
Moderator: Dr. Alaina Jackson, Community Experience and Research Lead for Ford AV/Mobility's City:One Team and Principal at Cooperative Community Consultants, LLC
