Detroit Native Turned Developer: Breathing New Life into Her Old Neighborhood

Super inspiring story!. This is what it takes to uplift the city. The people.

LIsten black people in this country have no EXCUSE for not supporting their neighborhood. Hell most of them came from the HOOD or poor background etc. Oprah started out in chicago and Michael and the Muslim brother and look at that city one of the poorest and dangerous city in the USA. Black MJackson told you look in the MIRROR

I would love to have access to more information about becoming a black female developer!

Good for her revitalizing her City.

Keep going 💪🏽 very inspiring 🎉

Keep black people in this country, you got brothers going to white countries and Latino countries because they feel it’s cheaper and better… why not make your communities better?! They don’t like us, even if your lil partner claim they do, we are not like them and they are not like us.. let’s teach our young kings and queens how to handle finances and invest.. teach them how to love and nurture each other.

I’m so motivated and inspired by this because I’m in the city of Detroit trying to do the same thing.

Cant developed nothing if there no job for people to work !

Proud of you Sis!

Love hearing that women are taking charge of their destiny.

I like the way you are incorporating modern amenities; like in unit laundry and open floor plan.

Yes, we will do what must be done!! Keep up the great work!!

So proud of you, never stop going to the top. I just pray black people will have a chance to stay in Detroit

Awesome and Inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

good to see people in the inner city trying to do something, but when your surrounded by blight left and right it's all for nothing. These crooks and robbers are everywhere.

Keep doing that damn thing my sista! I love it. Young black Queen out here getting it while the getting is good. If you know you know.

It’s a nice story. However what does the numbers look like?

Rehab is $500k for a quadplex, but how much was the quadplex?

What is the APR?

I would like to interview you. email me. I will try your ig as well.

You are an inspiration to me Candus I needed to see this and see you‼️

Problem is when we go to the main street its nothing there but a gas station and tire shop

You coming back to your home town to help revitalize Detroit is admirable. I can't wait to see the finish results. Inspiring me to invest in underserved cities. Much success on your projects.

How much all in?

I own a company that buys and repairs homes in Detroit , I would love to chat with you on the obstacles!

I love the passion you have for revitalizing the city that you love.

My mom was born there, but we have resided here in Georgia for all of my 45 years

Oh my goodness, this is my neighborhood. I grew up here. I am eager to see your development thrive. Blessings ❤❤❤

Oh my goodness, I grew up on in this area. I can’t wait to come back and see the progress 💞💞💞

Welcome back! And, good job to both you and Ms. McKinnon. 🙂

I lived on the East side for 3- 4 years, what I've observed and learned from folks that from there is that these neighborhoods are Not under funded. the people who govern this city were stealing funds allocate to them. these run down neighborhoods are run down because of the people who stay there, they are the ones who have it in shambles! accountability goes along way when you wanna face the facts. they have only chose a few zip codes to re plentish outside of downtown and midtown...so the people vote and participate in their own demise of this historical city!

Amazing work. Great job.
