@Thomas, I'm running into the same issue in the Royal Oak area.  

@Peter Forrest you should talk to Scott Smith with Royal Legal Solutions( http://www.royallegalsolutions.com ).  

In fact, I'm flying over tomorrow for a couple quick days to check on an upcoming Kaneohe project as well as my current projects in Ewa and Royal Kunia.

GO KANSAS CITY ROYALS!!!

HOA's are just a royal pain to deal with as they can also change their own rules anytime as well.

I have really only had one buy/hold rental property in my life, but I'm looking to cultivate a broad selection of multifamily properties.I'm just in the beginning phases of starting a company with my cousin, and we are interested in walkable communities in the Metro Detroit area: Midtown, Corktown, West Village, Grosse Pointe, Royal Oak, Birmingham, etc.Rock and Roll,John

I belong to the REIA of Oakland County that meets in Royal Oak but I have not heard of one in Troy.Thanks,

No two half hour or hour long advisory consultations with professionals have been the same (Anderson, Fortune Builders, M2, Royal, Note Assistance Program, Robert Hall Tax Advisors, EquityTrust, note funds, nite crowdfunding and individual note mentor/investors).Just a quick and dirty adding of the costs I've been told about but not spent so far would use about $13,000 of my $22,000 note investment stake before I even pop urchade a note. 

You might be better off looking in places just north of Detroit (Eastpoint, Hazel Park, Ferndale, Oak Park, Royal Oak, Madison Heights, Warren, etc.) or south west (Dearborn, Wyandotte, Allen Park, Inkster, Taylor, Westland, etc.).
