Own It Detroit is more than just a one stop shop for anyone investing in the Detroit market. Mousa and his team have proven to me that a great property management company is truly worth its weight in gold. I have purchased a total of 6 properties through Own It Detroit over the past 2 years and I can honestly say that they have exceeded my expectations.
Professionalism, transparency, accountability, responsiveness, honesty and integrity are a few things you can expect when working with Mousa and his team. I highly recommend Own It Detroit and Im looking forward to investing with them

Works out payment plans, signs tenants up for financial assistance and all the while, explaining all this to the owners of the properties. Great work Sue, A++

I engaged Own It Detroit to manage my rental properties a couple of months and I am extremely pleased with their performance and reliability. They have completed required repairs timely and at reasonable cost, they recover some lost rents through financial aid from the City and the tenants feel reassured they are in good hands.
