Grand Rapids Rental Certification Process
Hello,
I am a Grand Rapids native and an active duty Army officer who currently resides just outside of Washington DC. I recently closed on a rental property in GR and am going through the process of getting it registered and certified through the city. Reaching out to BP to see if anyone has experience with this process and would mind sharing some tips and lessons learned to ensure a first-time go on the inspection.

Kyle, I have extensive experience with this process (in fact my brother works for code compliance) I also own a property management company in the area and would love to help in any way I can.
