Renovations
Our Renovation Standards
Since 2014, Masterkey USA has purchased single-family homes throughout the Detroit, Michigan, metropolitan area that require renovation and repair. We perform necessary due diligence to select the best properties for our investors by identifying and securing homes in desirable locations that require repair or upgrades. Masterkey USA has now purchased, renovated, and sold more than 100 homes in the Detroit metropolitan area since beginning operations.
Masterkey USA also has some properties that are designated as Section 8 affordable housing and ensure to provide safe, secure, and decent homes for the tenants who form part of the voucher program.
Masterkey USA employs renovation teams to perform skilled and professional renovations. Our standards for renovation include all aspects of the home—from the roof to interior paint. Our primary services include the following:
