BRRRRing in West Michigan

[Pete M.]

Hey, folks,

I'm interested to hear if/where others are successfully BRRRRing in western MI. I grew up a little southeast from GR and now living on the west coast (summers here remind me a lot of MI... with the bonus of way less mosquitoes and more mountains). I'm currently investing and BRRRRing in Oklahoma City, but looking for a second market. I also have a friend in the Wyoming neighborhood who's interested in taking a closer look at RE investing, so wanted to find out if (and where) others are finding a steady flow of BRRRRable properties (likely SFR or small MFRs to start). Besides GR, I've seen others mention Kzoo and Muskegon. Also appreciate any pointers to good agents who have a line on BRRRRable deals.

Thanks in advance.

Great to hear your plans. I lived in Seattle for 4 years and conpleted my very first deal in Aberdeen in 2015. My wife is from Holland, MI and we have been investing in Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Holland since 2016. There are definitely still BRRRR opps available, though not on evert corner like there used to be in GR. Kalamazoo has loads of potential and deals are not nearly as hard to find as in GR. Im currently completing deals 7 and 8, half of which were either BRRRRs or could have been if I decided to go with that strategy. If you have specific questions or want to run anything by me, feel free to reach out.
