@Dale Ferguson I am an investor and property manager in Grand Rapids, and would love to connect.  I would also love to see any wholesale deals you might have!  

The RPOA Breakfast on Friday mornings, and the B-Dubs meet-up the second Monday of every month on 44th St are the best networking opportunities I have found.  RPOA has a lot to offer and are the host of many educational and networking events. Send me a private message if you need or want more information. 

Happy to help from Grand Rapids if needed. 

@Jeffrey Holst Thanks for posting and connecting.  It sounds like you are an experienced investor and well on your way.  I am happy to assist in the Grand Rapids market if needed. 

Congrats Dan!  I give free advise from a PM perspective on the local market if you ever need anything.  Here to help! 

Exciting news Ryan.  If you need anything from a local PM please let me know.  Advise is free =)

@Paul Volk Exciting stuff!  If you ever have questions or need a second opinion let me know.  We have a sizable management company here in Grand Rapids, and love seeing investors become successful.  There is still alot of opportunity, and Grand Rapids is still predicting growth for the foreseeable furture.

Jake unfortunately there is no way legally to get around this city ordinance.  Make sure you don't sign a lease with all 6 students as this would be a huge liability in the event fire or major event. Ignorance is the best defense, but make sure you are actually ignorant to that fact.  This can be documented with a lease with only 4 adults, and your advertisement.   We manage hundreds of properties and we do run into this on occasion.  The city will make us remove beds and provide a copy of the lease if they suspect this.  In all circumstances we have been able to resolve it successfully. 

I agree with @Chrissy Nelson.  James is a fanatics agent, and very investor minded.  In addition to being a great agent with a good understanding of the market, he is also an investor and works under a brokerage affiliated with a fantastic management company.  Home run in my opinion. =)  Good luck with your search. 

@Noah Stang This is Tim from United Properties.  I would love to talk about what to expect.
