Michigan real estateThe pros of buying a Michigan Condo 1.)  Don't have to worry about hiring contractors to take care of outside maintenance or building problems.  You never have to worry about taking care of the grass, or the snow.  You never have to take care of the roof issues or the road.  The condo association and it's board make the decisions, hire the contractors, follow up on the work.2.)  The cost of insurance is cheaper because you are just insuring the contents of the condo.  Your personal belongings.  The condo building is insured by the association through a group policy.  ( You pay for the insurance through your association dues)  The association insurance payment most like is cheaper because it is a group rate.  And you will never get cancelled yourself from the group.  ...

What can I tell you about Canton, MI.  I wasn't there from the start but I worked for my uncle who started a Nursery out there in 1980.  He was on Ford Rd close to I-275.  There were not a ton of subdivisions out there yet but they were building fast.  I used to hunt pheasants at Canton Center and Ford Rd.  How 28 years has changed Canton, Michigan.Ford Rd is the Main drag through Canton.  Many of the Big Box stores are there.  Home Depot, Lowes, Meijers, IKEA, Target.  Lots of small stores such carpet stores, phone stores, etc....  Lots of restaurants from McDonald's, White Castle, Chucky Cheese, to Mexican Fiesta.  You can get about everything down Ford Rd.  But the traffic is slow and congested sometimes their.  Their are more shopping centers that are popping up on Michigan Ave whic...
