Hi, My husband and I are new investors in Southwest Michigan.

Hi Oren, I'm nearby that area fairly often (more Southwest between Grand Blvd/Tireman/Dexter) and it's mainly C-D class neighborhoods, which I describe as tenant majority (section 8 or other subsidy), distressed properties on the block.

I can only speak to our local market here in the southwest, but the job market is much better for construction managers than in architecture. 

Hi Everyone, My name is John Smyth originally from Kilmarnock, Scotland, 25 miles South West of Glasgow for anyone who has knowledge of the area.Moved to Bradenton Florida having owned an engineering distribution and services business in Glasgow for 13 years.Passionate about property.

-Anywhere by the park would be awesome, just be careful at the south/south west end of the park.

Areas along the Southwest and into the Midwest are untapped markets for this type of investment.

I got Brooklyn Centre from Google Maps when I typed in the address to get more information about the potential property - looks like its an area between the Zoo to the Southwest, Riverside Cemetary to the Northeast where the 71 and 176 meet. 

That said, there are possibilities in the north (west of Pitt) and south west (west of Carmarthen and no further south than Queens Square) of Uptown.

Jay, statistically it costs on the average about $1,000 per door per annum less to run multifamily in the South-West than Mid-West.

We are from the Sioux Falls area, but thinking of relocating to the South West.
