Who We Are

Founded in January 2024, Buy the City Back is dedicated to revitalizing Detroit through innovative homeownership opportunities in low-income areas. Our mission is rooted in the belief that the greatest long-term returns come from empowering communities. We acquire abandoned properties, remodel them, and offer them through rent-to-own land contracts, making homeownership accessible to those who need it most. Partnering with licensed professionals in general contracting, plumbing, electrical work, HVAC, and more, we ensure quality renovations that breathe new life into our neighborhoods. Together, we’re helping people buy the city back, one home at a time.
