Re: not paying taxes up front - I could be very wrong, but I was under the assumption that (at least here in Michigan) - property can be transferred from one owner to the next (family or not) even though there may be taxes owner (or any other liens) on the property using a quitclaim. 

I think "Cash for keys" makes sense in some cases like gaining quick possession to end a foreclosure redemption period or to gain possession in order to deliver a vacant house a close of sale...but in a traditional landlord tenant relationship I use an attorney, go to court, get a writ for eviction.Start the process as soon as tenant is late (like the day after rent is due)....in Michigan we send 7 day notice for nonpayment (if nonpayment is the issue)Attorney takes it from there, Court date is usually within 10 days.

@Lakota TiddWelcome Lakota, I'm a realtor in West Michigan also an Investor and I do alot of wholesaling.

I’m in West Michigan.

We both live in California and are planning to invest in Michigan.

But the average rent is as such and cannot be bolstered to a staggering level to try to make the numbers work.I'm from west michigan, I think I could do better in Multi-family properties there, seems the numbers and logical rent prices go together well.

Below is a sample of what the the Michigan filing system looks like. 

From what I gather, Home Possible beats FHA in regards to the MI premiums dropping after 22% equity is reached.
