I sent pictures of the damages to Lansing and wrote my Congressman, but nothing was done about it.

Grew up in a little town called Eaton Rapids just south of Lansing.

In boring city like Louisville or Norfolk I could make money easily without the threat of my competition.In texas there're just too many builders/flippers that would steal my pie LOLIn this past week I am reading two Multifamily financial proforma, one in Dallas and the other one is in East Lansing Michigan.

Hi Shaheen-Great question and congratulations on deciding to invest in multifamily properties.There are several markets in Michigan that have affordable multifamily pricing with good cashflow that include Lansing, East Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids.To Your Success!

Myself, I made a recent investment in Haslett.Stats, 2014 to 2015 (median income/wage growth/job growth):Compared to Lansing (35.5k/-0.31%/1.8%) and East Lansing ($33k/-0.25%/-0.33%), Haslett boasts stats of 58.9k/3.0%/-0.25%.

There are a few opportunities, but my money is allocated to lower cost segments with stronger rental opportunities: like Grand Rapids, Muskegon & Lansing areas.

There are not many rentals listed available online, but when comparing to some of the surrounding areas (Hammond, Lansing, even Highland), it seems $1,900 per month (min) you would have a boat load of interest (thus $2k or more?).

The areas I'm primarily focused on are Livingston County, Kalamazoo, Ann-Arbor, Ypsilanti and Lansing.

rob, last year or the year before i spent around 4-5 hrs collecting addresses and values for 6 streets to show where i am compared to each house on the street.each table (excel) had over 30 addresses and made a nice line chart.wife went to the city and presented the information. they looked at it, said "We will get back to you". 2 weeks later they said "no, not lowering the taxes".i could fight it in lansing, but it means i have to take a day off to go and present my case.i wonder if a firm would have a better shot at it. do you have any contacts?
