Timeline & foreclosure
Michigan has a ~60-day notice plus a 6-month redemption period after sale — the longest runway in the Midwest. You almost always have time to take a real offer. We can close in 10–14 days.
Michigan is a non judicial foreclosure state.
Closing custom
Title companies handle closing in Michigan — no attorney required.
Local demand
Detroit metro and Grand Rapids have very deep buyer pools and competitive offers. The long redemption period means most distressed sellers have time to close a traditional cash deal instead of losing everything at a sheriff's sale.

Glossary
Key terms for cash-flow rental in Detroit.
- ARV (After-Repair Value)
- What the Detroit property will sell for once renovated. Drives every offer formula; sanity-check it against sold comps within a half-mile and the last 90 days.
- 70% rule
- Max offer ≈ (ARV × 0.70) − rehab. A starting point, not a law; tight markets routinely transact at 75–80% of ARV.
- Assignment
- Selling your purchase contract to another investor before closing. The end buyer takes title; you collect an assignment fee.
- DSCR loan
- Debt-Service-Coverage-Ratio loan that qualifies on the property's rent — not your personal income. The standard way to scale past Fannie's 10-financed-property cap.
