Starting the pre-approval process and it's been easy so far, but I do like to hear from people who have used a company before.

A property qualifies as Homestead for this exemption if an eligible owner files a Principal Residence Exemption (PRE): https://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7-238-43535_43539-210891--,00.html#:~:text=Section%20211.7cc%20and%20211.7,purposes%20up%20to%2018%20mills.Many investors have gotten an ugly surprise when they bought a property that was a primary residence of the seller for the last 20 years.

No problem with down payment but will need conventional load which is not a problem as I have been pre approved many times just did not find right property.

I would say get connected with a local agent and also set up with a lender that has you pre approved to make it super easy making offers.

You will likely have trouble finding real estate listed online for that coast since it is really pre-development. 

LLC, incorporated, etc and also what state you are in.

Do I receive video of my pre and post make ready?

It was great to get our heads in the game, and got us to move quicker to get a house (since we were basically forced to get a pre-approved loan in order to tour houses...).

Do you know your clients: what can they truly afford not "pre qual" or "pre approved" for, what are they looking to buy?

The only pros who will be replaced are those that fail to incorporate AI into their work.
