grand rapids real estate: You Want to Rent a Foreclosed Home?
- 05/05/11 07:52 AM
You Want to Rent a Foreclosed Home?
I actually got a call from a potential home buyer the other day
and they were considering renting a foreclosed home. The buyer
was having credit issues, so they knew they would have to rent
for awhile before they could purchase a home.
I explained that foreclosed homes are not for rent and probably
never would be. The bank or investor just wants to sell the property
and recover some of their investment. They are not interested in
keeping the home for any reason.
I have seen an increased interest in people … (1 comments)

- 07/22/08 06:25 AM
Adatowne is a popular entry level home market in the Ada area.

to the village of Ada. Adatowne is an established subdivision, being
started in the early 1970's by E.L. Ladd Builders of Ada. I have held

as new construction - to be built.

grand rapids real estate: Transnation Title Goes Local ~ Good News for West Michigan
- 07/16/08 07:04 AM
Typically this story goes in the other direction. The large corporation buys out
a locally successful business and relocates the core to their home offices,
sooner or later. Here in West Michigan we have seen this happen frequently to
some of our large local companies. Many long time employees lose their jobs,
must scramble to find a comparative position or relocate. That is why this
is so newsworthy! We are encouraged for the local area by this one reversal....

grand rapids real estate: West Michigan Goes Hollywood !!
- 04/13/08 03:33 AM

$20 million per project with most films coming in under $10 million. Their first film will be "Tug,"
which qualifies for the incentive programs and is set for production in early summer.

grand rapids real estate: Grand Rapids Dream Home vs Grand Rapids Real Home
- 04/10/08 12:19 PM
Spring brings the urge to buy a new home or a bigger home. Lots of internet searches for the perfect
home are being done at midnight in the robe & slippers, here in Grand Rapids Michigan, as elsewhere
around the country. The mortgage rates are low, the apartment idea was great but now some
may have decided they want a piece of the American Dream. They want their own garage,
their own deck and decorate with flamingos if they want.
Let's take a peek at that midnight computer search & see what the average consumer is searching for.
