Michigan Investor Market Overview
Michigan's investor market is polarized. Detroit and Flint offer the most extreme rent-to-value ratios in the country but with matching operational complexity: vacancy, maintenance, property tax reassessment risk, and neighborhood dynamics that out-of-state buyers consistently underestimate. Grand Rapids is the opposite, stable, diversified, steady appreciation, and mainstream investor appeal. Ann Arbor is a premium student-housing market with strong DSCR math and stable tenants.
Michigan is non-judicial on foreclosures (or judicial by advertisement, effectively faster than true judicial states), has moderate tenant protections, and uses state equalized value for property tax that can reassess at transfer. Detroit's property tax dynamics are a real underwriting factor.

Why DSCR Lending Fits Michigan
Detroit is one of the few markets where DSCR on a $40-80k property actually works. Our $50k minimum loan catches deals that most DSCR shops exclude. For specialist Detroit operators running LLC portfolios, DSCR is the only financing that scales past the first few properties. Grand Rapids and Ann Arbor operators benefit from DSCR differently: strong rent rolls clear thresholds easily and LLC vesting keeps asset protection intact.
