Michigan foreclosures have pressed down real estate values in Metro Detroit for over 4 years in a row. The silver lining to these skidding values is that investors now recognize that prices for investment properties have never been more attractive.
So how come more investors are not buying these homes while the prices are low?
It’s very discouraging to move forward with plans to build a real estate empire only to discover that if you have 4 mortgages in your name or more, most lenders will not allow you to get another. When translated, this means that you can only have 3 additional mortgages on your credit report if you have one on your primary residence.
You would think that people would go out and get their four properties, maybe even have their spouse get another four too. Instead we see people deciding that if they can’t buy ten next month in their own name, they won’t get involved at all.
I know a lot of people that are buying Michigan Foreclosures and are using creative strategies to work around the 4-property and high-down payment obstacles. Here’s one that works well.
Roll your properties into commercial loans. If the properties were bought right with significant positive cashflow, then it shouldn’t be too difficult to package three rented homes together into one commercial loan. This frees up the funds that were used to acquire the property (either from a line of credit, straight cash, or other sources) so they can be re-invested in purchasing an additional three properties.
Commercial funding is a completely different animal when compared to traditional mortgages. They often come with 10 year amortizations and have to be refinanced every five years and because of that it’s usually best to select the right type of investment homes that have such a high cashflow rate that they can account for it.
This translates into buying very inexpensive properties. Houses that can be bought and fixed up for $30,000 or less and will rent for $750-$950 per month match up well to being rolled into commercial loans.
This is why smart real estate investors from across the nation are turning to Michigan foreclosures and properties in other areas that can be had for a bargain price. The financing is still there to keep buying more properties while prices are at record lows. Higher priced areas across the nation still have average values well over $175,000 even after year-over-year price drops and are not able to cashflow on a commercial amortization basis.
So if you want to buy a lot of properties at great prices that cashflow well in a short amount of time, then real estate investing in Michigan foreclosures is the way to go.
Michigan foreclosures offer a unequalled amount of equity and when price is compared against area rents it’s easy to see why smart investors from across the nation as well as Europe and Australia are buying houses here while prices are low.
Further more, with new methods to collect rent automatically each month and great property managements companies to take care of the occasional leaky faucet; investing from afar has never been easier.
Do some research and I’m sure you’ll agree that Michigan foreclosures may be just the type of alternative investment you are looking for. It might even be able to help you turn around the losses the stock market had dealt to your other investments and get on track where your finances and retirement goals are concerned.

Mine cloggs once in a while 4 no reason.
What do i do?
it will flush good for like 3 times then get clog and won’t flush evetything down…then i plunge and the cycle starts all over again. Its on da 3rd floor could it be lack of pressure…if so how do i solve dis???????
I am very pissed at my toilet. I have had it for 15 years and never a BIG problem, only clogging when we put too much toilet paper in. I took the toilet off the floor when it was flushing very wierd, it would drain very slowly. I rolled it around in my backyard and a bunch of toilet paper came out, and a rock came out with it. I thought the rock was the problem, but when I put the toilet back on the porblem was still happening. I don’t know what to do.
What if my toilet does not flush whatsoever. Do I need a new flapper? The toilet does not leak and it does not re-fill itself. Any suggestions or videos you would suggest for me to watch/learn?
