Like I said 1.5% is a sweet spot for the BP investors that come to Indy and see what were doing. 

Purchase: $80k-$130kRent: $1100-$1500 (no rent control in MI)1% rule: 1%-1.4% rule dealsROI: 10-14%Cash flow: $200-$300/door (after all expenses and budgeting for maint, capex, vacancy)Appreciation: 3-10%+ (has been double digit for a decade)Location: C+, B- These numbers are based on the “sweet spot” in Metro Detroit.

Sometimes you can then find the owners name and call the company, but usually you will get the gatekeeper, so you'll have to sweet talk them to get to the owner.

This might put you in the sweet spot for that demographic of rental if that's want. 

I am pretty jealous of that fleet of sweet semi's!

So, can you satisfy your "sweet tooth" for real estate by buying something in your college town?

Maybe this will turn into a sweet deal!

The sweet spot for my rentals is $1200-$1500 per month.

Keep your eyes open for something zoned residential or mixed use commercial/residential, with a historical Certificate of Occupancy, for an overall pretty sweet deal on the financing. 

The DOR can take their sweet time deliberating whether your assessment is fair or not costing you a ton of money as opportunity cost even if you do succeed in the end - very unlikely (lost seller, longer turnaround, etc.)
