However, I am reading the contract they sent me. ( disclosure - I am a broker ) The FIRST problem - property doesn't have an address as they advertised on their website. suppose to be 3 buildings with 24 units total.

That would put it in the MLS and syndicate it to all the public facing website to get you the most eyes possible on it.

If I use the calculator on the state website https://treas-secure.state.mi....If the ourchase price is 150k and enter that as the sev and complete the remaining info it says annual property taxes are almost 12,000.

From where I was able to access the county website.

Hey guys, I used to use truepeoplesearch website to look up home owners and their phone numbers, I believe they took that site down because I’m not about to find it anymore.

I have put the apartment up for rent on several websites and found surprisingly large interest in it.

When I say this keep in mind I live in a rural area and my rents are under $1,000 per unit per month for the most part so building up reserves takes me more time than it might someone who’s rent was $3,000 per door.

I also think the 20 year average appreciation for 15217 is slightly higher than 5% but taking the side of caution ( if anyone knows the exact that would awesome- I wasn't paying that fancy website for its datasheet). 

You can usually google "[city] short term rental laws" and the city or county website will pull up to let you know what restrictions/requirements are in place.As for managing, see if you can self-manage first.
