Kalamazoo Market - People to know

Hello BP,

Looking at some properties in the Kalamazoo, MI area and was hoping to connect with someone local to that market to discuss some of the details of the area. 

As far as the location I'm somewhat well versed from my time in town visiting friends and family over the years but could use some local insight on management companies, local realtors, contractors, etc. I have a couple contractors in surrounding towns I've been in contact with over the years but I'm still determining weather or not they operate in Kalamazoo.

Any and all insight is appreciated. 

Thanks for the read,

Dave

@David Edwards I currently have a few rentals in K-zoo, sometimes finding off-market subject properties. If it hasn't been mentioned previously, one area that I often advise out-of-state investors is to be aware of the property tax rate for non-homestead, and factoring in the higher tax rate when running your numbers. I do have several contacts within my network who are based in the K-zoo area. Let me know if you need any assistance. Have a good one. Jacques
