The idea behind your involvement in a local Investors Club would be to aquatint yourself with others of like mind and gain information about your area. (i.e. neighborhoods, their desirability, and their appraised home values)
Ideally you need to seek out the Investment Club for the Belleville area, and/or the greater Detroit area, unless of course you plan to buy property in the Lansing MI area, at which point I could put you in contact with the Lansing area Club.
