Thinking about investing in Detroit Michigan. 

@Lisa Marie and others, Some REIAs are good and some make you feel like you need to shower to wash the sleaze off.

Quote from @Kevin M.: I encourage most readers to just admire your efficiency instead of presuming they can get these results themselves.I have not heard of a single investor able to get this kind of work done for $30k in Philadelphia.

I'm a Michigan native looking to move back to start my portfolio but I haven't really spent too much time in Detroit and would love to hear people's experiences.

Quote from @Varun M.: I wanted to share an update on my build. 

How do I access a portion of that equity to fund the purchase of 1-2 more MFR properties in more affordable markets like OH, IN, MI, PA, TN, or AL?

New year, new laws (Senate bills 205, 206 & 207).Effective January 2, 2025, Michigan landlords can no longer consider a tenant's source of income when screening them. 

Some of the best advice I got that I will forget was this:"SOME OF THE BEST DEALS, ARE THE ONES YOU DON'T GET"Let that sink in for a while...I remember 4117 s Michigan Ave. here in Chicago, it was an awesome 8 unit full gut condo conversation - I loved the deal and still belileve it would have been a great deal, but would have pinched me so thin I am not sure how I would have survived. 

Could VRBO users from Michigan provide some clarity about the topic of sales tax/lodging tax collection and payment to the state.

Our standard lease is 27 pages long.We shortened to 6 pages for STR and MTR rentals only.Have had to evict a couple of tenants in Michigan and the leases were needed.
