Janbar Plat
Solid value in a growing area
Median $70K
...and you're just a short drive from the Little Manistee River, where Johnson Bridge opens onto trout and salmon water. The subdivision sits on half-acre lots, the kind with room to think—enough space for a pole barn or a shed for gear, and snowmobile trails right at your edge. Lake Michigan is less than two miles away; the Manistee National Forest spreads out about two and a half miles south, all public land to wander through. Restaurants are a few minutes' drive, but what matters here is access: water, woods, and the kind of quiet that comes from actually being somewhere, not just passing through.

Estimates use a 6.49% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
