Why Use Michigan Data?

Real estate investing is hyperlocal. National averages for property tax, insurance, and vacancy rates can be wildly misleading when underwriting a deal in Michigan. The MI effective property tax rate is 1.32%, which translates to $0/year on a median-priced Michigan home at $0. That single line item can be the difference between positive and negative cash flow.

Homeowners insurance in Michigan averages $1,400/year. Failing to account for MI-specific insurance costs is one of the most common mistakes new investors make when running numbers remotely. Moderate insurance costs.

The Michigan vacancy rate currently sits at 7.5%. Plugging in a generic 5% vacancy assumption when the actual market runs higher will overstate your projected income. This calculator pre-fills MI data so your analysis starts from reality, not assumptions.
