”When I first became homeless, I use to pray that I die for 6 months…that was back in ’87″ Jerry,52, may be homeless but his mind isnt. I met Jerry in Tribeca. Our conversation is inspiring to say the least. The street lights are on a timer. They come on and off every 2 minutes. Jerry’s face begins to appear at the :35 second mark. He shares his story, a new year’s resolution, tips if you become homelsss, this favorite Bible passage and strongly suggests that everyone “diversify their finances”.

A Day in the Life with Lloyd. Lloyd Tyler , a Detroit native, attended a real estate seminar in 1993. The same year, he purchased his first home. Here we are 50 homes, 17 years and a Detroit economy later. We drive around the Westside of Detroit filming the neighborhoods and our conversations on the state of the Detroit housing market; how to tips, how he see’s Detroit in 2-3 years; advice after 17 years and we tour the 1 of his homes, as well as a number for sale homes and schools in the $1,000-$5,000 market that makes news headlines across the globe. I hope you enjoy Lloyd’s story. He is not just an experienced real estate contractor/developer. He is also my Uncle. So say hellllo to my Uncle Lloyd.
