Program Overview
Michigan Hunting Land Loans
Michigan splits into three lending profiles: large, low-cost UP timber tracts; mid-size northern camps with cabins; and higher-value southern farms where tillable acreage supports cash rent.
Deer camps with cabins are common in Michigan, and financing them requires a lender comfortable allocating value between rustic improvements and acreage.
Saginaw Bay and Lake Erie marsh ground is valued on waterfowl habitat and water control rather than agricultural productivity.
