You might try to look in Grand Marais, there are a few lots listed on Zillow currently.

Personally college took up way to much of my time during my startup construction company when I could have been hiring more people and making a few hundred grand more.

She couldn’t do a self directed account because grand kids would be disqualified. 

I also have properties in Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids.

Seems to be a lot of inventory of cheap 2-3 families that require some work but would cash flow, and you're only ~40 minutes from Grand Central on the Metro North New Haven or Harlem lines.

If I did not live in Michigan, I would be looking to invest in Michigan.You can easily buy several cash flowing properties in a place like Lansing (the State capital) with that budget or one class A property in a location like Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, or Traverse City.Also, while many areas are seeing rent increases slow nationally, Michigan is continuing to see solid demand for rental housing.Michigan has a temperate climate, abundant natural resources (especially water), and a diverse economy.To your success!

@Brandon CraigI invest in long term rentals in central areas like Arlington and Grand Prairie near major freeways, and in the center of the metroplex.

If you say you could get $3500 in cash flow if you moved out that would be $700/unit/month and that’s a grand slam for most parts of the country.

I'm looking for input on Redford as an investment location the property is a triplex located at beach daily and grand river.

The whole trip will run you flight/hotel/food/entertainment maybe $3k that you get to expense at the end of the year anyway.I wouldn't play in that zip-code, I would do anything along Livernois North of U of D...Also don't be afraid to look in the North End(woodward between grand blvd and Chicago).
