@Maria Taylor welcome to BP, and to investing in SE Michigan. I hope you the best of luck. I invest in Central and West Michigan along with provide property management services. If you have any questions I am available to give free advice any day of the week.

@Gina H. to answer your question it all depends on how much effort you want to put in, and what your long term goal is with the investment.

As @Sean Sloop stated GR is hot due to the overall economic diversity and growth happening. That doesn’t mean there isn’t deals to be had. You might have to put more effort in to find the good deals. Areas of value are also Kalamazoo, Lansing, Battle Creek. 

I have heard there is great potential in the Detroit suburban areas, but this is not my expertise so you would have to find someone from the area to provide additional insight on this. 

Let us know if you have additional info about investing. Best of luck on investment searching.
 

@Travis Juntti if you have any questions related to rental properties let me know I currently work in the management space. 

@Scott Kane I am located in the Lansing, Jackson and Kalamazoo markets. We have tons of opportunities and I work in the property management space and would be happy to answer questions.

Thanks @John Teachout.

@Glenn Grahl not only is Flint and Saginaw good Michigan markets but also Lansing, Battle Creek, and Jackson. The market is hot just about any where you go, but there is still plenty of opportunity here.

@Jeffrey Horton were you able to find a reputable management company in the Battle Creek area? If you have any additional rental property questions please let me know as I would be happy to help. Thank you for your time.

@Charyl J. finding a good independent insurance agent in the Kalamazoo area will be your first step. A good independent agent will have several carriers that one should have a product for your. An agency like Nulty Insurance could provide you a product, or know a broker who could. Being a special type of risk requires talking to a few agents to get the right product. Let me know if you have additional rental questions.
