Where We Operate

Markets

We operate where we have the deepest connections, the strongest contractor networks, and the most intimate knowledge of what tenants and guests want.

Every market has a dedicated local team on the ground. We don't manage from a distance — we have real relationships, real contractors, and real market knowledge in every city we operate in.

Michigan
● Active — Metro Detroit Area

Our home market and where Van Buren Equity Partners was born. Two properties, two Van Buren streets, two outcomes that proved the model. We know this market at a street level — which neighborhoods are moving, which contractors are reliable, and what tenants in this market actually want from a long-term rental.
