@Evan DeVisser...thank you! We are doing buy and holds right now but may be interested in flipping or BRRRR at some point. I would love our next purchase to be multi-family.

Just remember not trying to be negative on Michigan as whole by any means. Michigan went through some tough times, and from what I hear trying to get to better times. I think Cash on Cash returns will be great but appreciation might be difficult.

@Roni Elias
I know you’re just relaying what you’ve heard likely from word of mouth or wherever else you’re getting your information but this is just off base. Michigan isn’t a small state there is plenty of areas seeing average or above average appreciation. Sure there’s also plenty of areas with those high trademark Midwest cash on cash returns in exchange for giving up appreciation, to run with the notion that the whole state is that way is... off base.
I grew up and live in Ann Arbor and anyone from the area can tell you how THAT’S went in recent years.
@Nicholas Burrell like I said Ann Arbor native but buying first investment property within our next-door neighbor Ypsilanti. Shoot me a PM to chat and maybe we can set something up. Hope to speak soon and best of luck with your networking and investing journey. We live in a great state for it, and there’s definitely areas to strongly believe in long term.

Ann Arbor is very unique. High income earners, University of Michigan. I think once you get outside of Ann Arbor different story. I do like listening to your homegrown Pulitzer news reporter Charlie LeDuff.
