Hi @Dan Graney.   I invested in Oakland County (including Oxford specifically) for years.  I love the area, but I find the taxation and strict guidelines in many of the Oakland County municipalities frustrating.  Considering your location, I'd focus on Genesee or Livingston, specifically Fenton, Hartland, and Grand Blanc.  It has much the 'feel' of Oxford, but with prices/taxes that are more reasonable, and potential growth that is more appealing.

BTW, Great summary @Gary Morris!

Hi, I'm looking for a Grand Rapids based attorney that is focused or familiar with small business, REI, and real estate transactions. Any suggestions?

Is that was is needed for the project or just the amount of equity loc you are looking to secure?  pm me if you'd like.

Nice architecture photos on your site btw. Can you share any details on the location or history of that first house featured?

How much capital is required?   

in theory, yes, although those types of expenses tend to lag in adjustment.

I got some quotes on a house staging, it was $350/month for a couch, side chair, dining table with 4 chairs and a couple of accent tables and pieces.     I think it would make a huge difference, but the price seems steep.  This was from Cort Furniture.  I would think if you are in it for the long term, and have the storage space, it would be worth having your own items and hire a couple of kids to set it up.

Welcome Erich! West Michigan is an exciting place to start REI.

have you tried running it through the BP rent and flip calculators?
