Anybody have landlord experience in Warren Michigan

[Edward Kempen]

I'm under contract for a non-conforming 2-house property in Warren Michigan I plan to lease out.

As part of review, seems the city has excessive inspection requirements (every 2 years) and open-ended rules on the inspections.  I feel it was enough that my first lender ran away from financing the deal even though all other requirements were met.

Does anybody have experience with working with the City of Warren?  Are they reasonable?  Or is this an impending inspection and fee trap as the underwriter suggested? 

They all seem friendly and reasonable when I talk with them, but I haven't had that telling first inspection yet.  The rules are posted and clear ( yet vague ) on their website.

Any advice appreciated.
