Why investors buy in Michigan

Cheap houses that actually cash-flow — A reality of the Michigan rental market

Michigan is one of the strongest pure cash-flow markets in the country.

You’ll have low entry prices in Detroit, Flint, and Lansing where rental income exceeds the property’s PITI. That’s the out-of-state investor draw.

The catch most people miss is the tax bill — Michigan property taxes reset when you buy (the Proposal A “uncapping” pop-up) and investment properties pay a higher non-homestead rate.

WHY MICHIGAN INVESTORS WORK WITH ANDES

Financing Built Around the Deal — Not Just the Borrower

We work with our Michigan investors in multiple ways, not just one.

Some deals are about cash flow. Others are about pulling equity out, buying in an LLC, financing a short-term rental, or finding a structure that still works when the numbers are tight.

At Andes Mortgage, we help Michigan real estate investors look at the property, the strategy, and the financing together

Instead of trying to force every deal into one loan program, we compare the available business-purpose options and help you understand which structure makes the most sense for what you’re trying to accomplish.

Start With the Property

Tell us what you're buying — or what you already own. Share the purchase price, expected rent, current mortgage, equity position, or whatever you know about the deal. We can start there and help you figure out which financing options are worth exploring.

Compare investor loan options

Depending on the deal, that could mean a DSCR loan, cash-out refinance, investor HELOC, short-term rental financing, or another business-purpose structure. We'll help you compare the options instead of making you guess which program fits.

Think Beyond This One Closing

Whether you're buying your first Michigan rental or adding another property to an existing portfolio, we look at how the financing fits into the bigger picture — including your equity, cash flow, and plans for the next deal.

Frequently asked questions

Michigan investor loan questions

Yes. Andes originates business-purpose investment property loans on non-owner-occupied Michigan real estate — including DSCR loans, cash-out refinances, investor HELOCs, and short-term rental financing. These loans qualify on the property’s rental income, so there are no tax returns and no personal debt-to-income calculation.

No. In Michigan, Andes offers business-purpose investment loans only — financing for rental and other non-owner-occupied property. We do not originate owner-occupied, primary-residence, or other consumer-purpose mortgages in Michigan.

A business-purpose loan finances property held to generate income or profit — a rental, a BRRRR project, a short-term rental — rather than a home you live in. Because the loan is underwritten on the property’s cash flow and business use, it follows different rules than a consumer mortgage, and the property is typically non-owner-occupied.

Absolutely. You can title your property to an LLC using our DSCR loans in Michigan. For more information on having a business own the property, visit our DSCR LLC page.

Detroit and Flint for the deepest cash flow, Grand Rapids and Lansing for a balance of yield and stability. The DSCR page breaks each down.
