Morning Side Duplex owner Currently renovating to Rent. Out of state investor

[Sara Emmanuelle Dube]

Hello everyone, 

New to the forum and excited to collaborate and share updates as i go. 

I purchased 2 duplexes in Morningside, Wayne County, #Detroit, Michigan (zip code 48224) February 2024.I am also an #Out of state investor.

Both are currently going through repairs and updates necessary for the city of Detroit to give me the Certificate of Compliance for rental units. Yes I like to play by the rules. Do most owners get these certificates? 

The duplexes had 3 of 4 units rented, and only one tenant is actually paying rent. The other barely paying or not paying at all. It looked good on paper to have most units rented but now I need to get them evicted. Or course that has a cost and its an ongoing project.

Redfin was our real estate agents. Logical Property Management is managing both duplexes. or LPM

Open to chatting about ongoing renovations, updates, certificates, tenants, PMs and the neighborhood itself. 

This is my first investment property. Anyone with advice please send my way! 

Glad to be hear and happy to virtually meet you all,

Have a great day,

Sara
