Hi @Aidan Jones. I'm in Ann Arbor and there are quite a few Metro Detroit meetups. A couple that come to mind in addition to the ones @Drew Sygit mentioned:

Dirty House Buyers (Ann Arbor/Ypsi area - look for their FB group - 1st Tuesday of the month)

Ann Arbor (AAREIC) has a meeting every other Thursday morning at Union Rec

Thanks,

Marcia

I need some good recommendations for a Hard or Private Money Lender for a downpayment in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area. I am planning to get my 3rd property with a DSCR loan.

Thank you in advance !!

I'm a HML in Ann Arbor. It seems like you're looking for gap funding, though, correct? Not the actual DSCR loan. I could recommend a gap lender if that's what you need.

Thanks,
Marcia

Hi everyone,

I recently moved to Ann Arbor from NYC - very excited to be here!  

Really interested in networking and deciding what types of things to get involved with in the local market.  Considering airbnb's downtown, long term rentals in up and coming areas near burns park, fixer uppers...pretty much anything except student housing - that feels hard!  

I am also considering investing and helping a local developer raise money for future projects and would just love to get plugged in to the local scene in general.  I recently invested in a small multifamily deal outside of Detroit that I found through twitter!

Does anybody know of any good groups or any folks familiar with the local market interested in grabbing a coffee or beer sometime?

Thanks,

Zac

Hi Zac,
I'm in Ann Arbor as well! Welcome! There are a few groups in the area that you might want to check out:
Dirty House Buyers meets the 2nd Tues of the month in Ypsilanti. It's a networking event with active investors. You can find it on meetup.

Ann Arbor Real Estate Investment Club has a variety of online and in-person events. It's a bit more focused on education. You can find it on meetup.

Further east out in Troy, there's Michigan Real Estate Investors who meets monthly (you can find them online). And the Metro Detroit Real Estate Investors group who also meets monthly and has a very active Facebook Group.

Let's connect! I'd be happy to share more info.

I'm in Ann Arbor and would be happy to chat! I'm an investor and lender.

Hi!

I'm a former flipper turned hard money/private lender. Been lending full time since 2017. I'd be happy to walk you through the ins and outs of BRRRR. Feel free to connect and we can set up some time to chat.

Thanks,

Marcia

I live in Ann Arbor and it's a really tough investment market because of the high values and taxes. But house hacking could be a great way to go here. Just a word of caution though, the city is NOT very landlord friendly (in my opinion). I had a property rejected for city certification (to use as a rental) because the windows were 1/8 of an inch too small. All of them. A great bet here is to find a nearby township that has an Ann Arbor address. Lower taxes, no city headache, still close to the university, and still have access to the great schools in Ann Arbor. Could be a great house hack opportunity. Also check out Ypsilanti Township. Great cash flow opportunities there.

Hi Christopher.
I'm quite certain we can beat those terms. I'd be happy to quote it for you. I will connect with you and share some info.

Thanks,
Marcia

Hi Luka,
Since you're in the Ann Arbor area and just starting out, I'd recommend checking out the Ann Arbor Real Estate Investor Club. You can find it on Meetup. There are a ton of online and in person meetings that you can attend and meet some of the local investors.

Thanks,
Marcia

@Dan Deng you may want to check out UHY Advisors. They have an office on Eisenhower in Ann Arbor and cover many specialties including real estate. Definitely not the cheapest, but they seem to know their stuff.

I'd also recommend Katie Haller:
