Frequently Asked Questions — Michigan Wholesaling

Is wholesaling legal in Michigan?

Yes. Michigan allows wholesalers to assign purchase contracts without a real estate license. You must hold a valid, signed purchase agreement with an assignment clause before marketing the deal.

Why do wholesalers love the Detroit market?

Detroit offers some of the lowest acquisition costs and highest cash-on-cash returns in the country. High volume of distressed and vacant properties, an active investor community, and rising ARVs make it a high-opportunity market.

How does DealMako help in Michigan's distressed-property markets?

DealMako's vacancy and distress filters are purpose-built for markets like Detroit and Flint. Identify tax-delinquent, vacant, and equity-rich properties on the map, then launch targeted SMS campaigns to reach owners at scale.
