Question 1

What does Empowered Housing do?

Accepted Answer

We buy and fully restore distressed homes across Detroit, rent them out as quality, move-in-ready places to live, manage them responsively, and help renters take real steps toward owning a home.

Question 2

What do you mean by turning renters into homeowners?

Accepted Answer

Ownership is our reason for being. We work with renters who want to own, guiding them toward the point where they can buy and start building equity of their own, instead of paying down someone else's mortgage.

Question 3

Are your rentals actually move-in ready?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We go through every home top to bottom before anyone moves in. These are homes we would be proud to live in ourselves, not places slapped together.

Question 4

Do you manage the homes you rent out?

Accepted Answer

We do. Maintenance requests, questions and lease renewals are handled by our team, so you always deal with a real, local person, not a faceless company.

Question 5

I have a distressed property in Detroit. Will you buy it?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. We are always looking for homes with potential, including single-family, multi-unit and group-home properties. Reach out with the details and we will take a look.

Question 6

Where do you operate?

Accepted Answer

We are rooted in Detroit and the surrounding Metro Detroit area in Michigan.
