I live in Lansing, Michigan and here you can get a nice house for under $20k that rents for $650.

Fellow BPers:I would appreciate a recommendation for an investment-minded realtor in the Lansing, Michigan area to help me locate buy-and-hold rental properties.Thanks, and Merry Christmas!

I focus on remodel refinance and hold in West Lansing Michigan.  

I already had my first property in Lansing at the time and was doing well with it and still do to this day, but reality is it is simply too far away for me to service like I would want. 

Please see the post on CL for this Lansing home.
