We'll be back in MI mid-August and need a place to live. Just my wife and I, no kids/pets/smoking.

Looking for:

-Between E. Lansing & Ann Arbor
-≤$700/mo.
-Short-Term Lease ≤3mo.
-Not ghetto

Thinking maybe Howell, Mason, Stockbridge, Pinckney, etc. Anywhere in the square between 96, 94 & 127, 23.

Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

If you change your mind and move back to Hillsdale, I can fix you up.

I'm really glad you guys are coming back.

It's only temporary.  My wife is in grad school and needs to be close to Lansing for her clinicals.  Once she's done, we're out for good.  2 years, tops.

That's an option for down the road a bit, but we need an immediate place to stay when we come back.

Gotcha.  There are some unbelievable bargains out their now.  I doubt it would take long at all to find something acceptable, especially if you have pre-approved financing.  If someone had the free time and ability, they could pick something up for a song and possibly unload it in a couple of years after some work at a nice profit.  Then again, I cannot say w/ certainty the market will have improved in 2 years.  Hard to say.  I do know a guy who made high offer on a foreclosed property at ~1/5 of what it sold for ~4 years ago.  It requires some work, but he is up to the task and is going to end up w/ a nice house dirt cheap, even considering his own labor.

The Howell/ Brighton areas are nice. South Lyon is one of the few places still growing fast.
