The River City, In the Palm of Your Hand

On the classic Michigan Hand Map, Grand Rapids is located roughly in the middle of the right hand, between the ring finger and pinkie. If you don't know about the Hand Map, and you're considering a move to the great state of Michigan, we suggest you get to know it ASAP. Believe it or not, Michiganders really do often utilize these “handy” bodily maps as visual aids. So, what's so great about living in this part of the north paw? Plenty, actually. Cultural opportunities abound, commutes are a cinch, public spaces are ample, the beaches of that one really big lake are just 30 minutes away and, most importantly, the local beer is good. For a 10 minute tour of the city and a peek at nearly 3,000 of its inhabitants, just watch Rob Bliss' world record-breaking <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPjjZCO67WI" title="Lip Dub video">Lip Dub video</a>.

With average winter low temps hovering around 20 degrees Fahrenheit, living in Grand Rapids pretty much requires a car. With snow tires. GR does offer reliable (and cheap) public transportation around downtown and between suburbs via The Rapid and Dash systems.

Lifestyle considerations may prove to be a deal-breaker or maker for some house-hunters. While Grand Rapids is widely considered to be an 'up and coming' American community, it's not exactly a world capitol, so competition for vacant units is usually a non-issue.

** If you have a Section 8 Housing Voucher- Qwest Property Management, LLC considers a HUD Housing Choice Voucher/Section 8 Voucher as "income" with regard to our company policy for income requirements. However, HUD requires that a housing provider must sign the HUD HAP Agreement and Tenancy Addendum in order to participate in the HUD HCV/Section 8 program. Per the HUD HAP Agreement and Tenancy Addendum, a housing providers Lease Agreement is then no longer the controlling legal document between all parties. Qwest Property Management, LLC manages and represents the properties that our clients own. Many of our clients are not willing to give up control of their assets and prefer not to be forced into signing a 3rd party contract which trumps the terms of the Lease Agreement. So, due to HUD's requirements, HUD/Section 8 will only allow you to rent certain properties in our 3rd party managed portfolio.

Look in the rental property listing to find out if the property is HUD approved for Section 8/HVC. If the property that you are interested in states in either the "amenities" section or in the description of the rental listing, either "Accepting HCV's" or "Accepting Housing Choice Vouchers" or "Accepts Section 8 Vouchers." If it DOES NOT state that HCV's or Section 8 is accepted in the rental listing, then HUD/Section 8 will not allow you to rent that property because HUD/Section 8 will not allow the lease to be the controlling legal document between all parties.
