Most spots in Oakland County, western Wayne County, Washtenaw County, and up around Brighton and Howel are growing.On the west side of the state, Kent County and south are strong and will be stronger as Chicago grows.  

I'm use to the old fashion way of just knocking on doors.

I have an appointment coming up with New Western (wholesaler).  

If ALL else fails, go knock on the neighbors door and see if they can give you information, or send an old fashioned letter to the address and maybe it will be forwarded.

Who can afford to pay those high rents especially that many people are leaving , but houses aren't, so vacancy rates are increasing.There is a lot to consider and I'm trying to get a feel of the place before I go there to see it for myself.What do you think about Western NY property markets ( Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo) as these are also heavily marketed to overseas investors?.

I went to school at Western up in Bellingham and have always been astonished by the low cap rates up there.
