Alpena, Michigan. Anyone experienced in investing in that area?

[Yoree Washington]

I’ve had my eye on the area for years. Most of those years were with minimal RE intelligence. Beautiful place. Affordable homes and recreational property. Where I lack knowledge is there economic climate and path of growth. Are they affected by any of Michigan’s other “issues”? It’s seems to be a fair distance from struggling areas, but I’d love to get some 1st hand opinions from someone with boots on ground. Any info helps. Thanks BP!
