Four-season tourism
Michigan recorded 131.2 million visitors and $30.7 billion in visitor spending in 2024. That broad travel economy can support well-located STR demand, but it does not guarantee occupancy for this property.
Investment GroupA proposed 12-month promissory note opportunity supporting the acquisition and renovation of a six-bedroom residential property in Michigan.
The property combines a substantial footprint, nearly an acre of land, and an initial value-add plan focused on renovation and resale.


We do not rely on one headline or one exit. We evaluate visitor demand, population movement, acquisition basis, and local policy together—then underwrite the property and municipality on their own merits.

Michigan’s population grew for a fourth consecutive year in 2025. Census estimates also showed a small net domestic migration gain—the first since at least 1990. The gain was modest, so we view it as supportive rather than a promise of rent or price growth.
At a $200,000 target purchase price, the thesis is to acquire a large six-bedroom footprint and direct capital toward renovation rather than pay a finished-home premium.
Michigan STR rules are set locally rather than through one statewide standard. Local zoning, permitting, taxes, and operating rules require confirmation. That makes an LTR or resale path an important fallback if STR use is not permitted or not attractive.

The plan is intentionally simple. Final renovation scope, costs, schedule, and exit assumptions remain subject to due diligence, inspections, and contractor bids.
Secure the property under the final purchase agreement and complete closing diligence.
Improve finishes, kitchen and bath areas, curb appeal, and market presentation.
Position the completed home for resale based on then-current market conditions.
