The EquityMax Competitive Advantage Is Clear

NO MORE MIDDLE MAN

Our company acts as a single family office, and only deploys its own capital to fund your deals. Less brokers and individuals in between your deals leads to less red tape, less headaches, and a more streamlined path to close and fund your transaction.

NO APPRAISAL, NO WORRIES

Don’t let a costly and time-consuming appraisal delay your closing or potentially lower your loan amount. EquityMax never orders appraisals, and instead asks a local broker to conduct a one-page BPO report. Ultimately, this efficient valuation method saves our borrowers time and cost, which leads to quicker and cheaper closings.

HERE FROM BEGINNING TO END

From the moment a team member takes your inquiry, to when you pay off your loan, the EquityMax office remains your single point of contact. We do not outsource servicing to third-party companies, with our team at your service to answer any questions from loan origination to loan payoff.

ANY REGION, AREA, OR LOCALE

An investor’s area of expertise ultimately determines where he or she invests. From the Detroit metro area and Lansing to Grand Rapids and Traverse City, EquityMax funds real estate investment purchases and cash-out refis in urban cities, suburban communities, and rural towns.

Latest Success Story

A borrower had an opportunity to purchase a single-family home, but did not have the requisite cash for the down payment. He did, however, own a commercial building that he was able to cross collateralize for purposes of the down payment. EquityMax utilized both properties in securitizing the loan, and the borrower was also successfully able to leverage his assets to make a handsome profit on his residential flip.

Real Estate Breakdown of Michigan

EquityMax Insight

Michigan’s real estate market may be the most competitive in history compared to other market cycles in the state. With more buyers entering the fold and fewer sellers listing their properties – 54% less compared to last year – a vortex of price increases have resulted.  Interest rates still being at an all time low will offer would-be buyers a buffer against these increased residential property prices.

Driving Factors for Michigan Real Estate Market

  • Climbing Prices

    Homes in Michigan are getting more expensive as buyers compete for the small inventory on the market. Average sales prices grew by 13% in the last year.

  • Taxation

    Michigan ranks as the 12th-most optimal state in which to operate a business which takes a huge burden off of real estate investors. Additionally, property taxes have remained relatively steady since 2015.

  • Population Growth

    Michigan’s favorable economic outlooking is the result of less favorable business conditions in nearby states like Illinois and Indiana. Thousands of residents have moved to Michigan in hopes of easing their economic disruption and taking advantage of new opportunities.
