Detroit D.R.E.A.M. Investment Solutions, LLC, led by Deba Harper, is a full-service firm that Develops Real Estate and Asset Management. The team acquires residential real estate assets in blighted communities and renovates them to their highest productive use. They buy properties in bulk on the same block to have enough share of the market to impact market value with a robust rental portfolio with strong annual cash flow, or to fix and flip assets for maximum equity yields.

Detroit DREAM IS’ community projects also have social purpose. They train and hire underemployed people of the community in various skilled trades associated with construction and real estate to grow with the community in stabilized housing.

Deba and her partner are featured in the book Conversations with the Team that Creates the Dream: The Top Female Professionals Who Can Help You Get Wealthy in Real Estate by Monick Paul Halm.
