"1. When buying property in Michigan,you should familiarize yourself with the terms of your contract and any necessary zoning regulations. 2. You also need to consider the cost of utilities, taxes and insurance associated with the home you are buying. 3. You should obtain title insurance to protect your interests in the property and be sure to understand all the closing costs associated with the purchase. 4.
