Vincent Orr, a former Chrysler employee, is transitioning to a licensed builder while running his own hardwood and epoxy flooring business. He has purchased three properties through the Detroit Land Bank Authority, investing over $100,000 in renovations, and plans to build a new house on one lot, viewing these homes as part of his retirement strategy. Despite the rising popularity of Detroit making it harder for small developers to acquire properties, Orr remains committed to ownership and plans to expand his investments in affordable housing.
