Sale schedule
Annual: first auction late summer, second (minimum-bid) auction fall (Oct-Nov)

Wholesaling rules in Michigan — read before you market a deal
Assignment-friendly: market only your equitable interest, collect an assignment fee (never a 'commission'); seller disclosures still owed on double closes.
Education only — not legal advice. Confirm your approach with a local real estate attorney before you sign anything.
Local notes
MI's two-round auction structure (round 2 = no minimum beyond costs on some parcels) is a signature wholesaler hunting ground - feature it in the playbook.
