Hi @Eric Wilkinson welcome to BP! Lots of good info on here, I recommend getting hooked on the podcasts.

I totally agree with you about having a high standard for the upkeep and condition of your properties. I believe you will get higher quality tenants if they know their landlord takes care of the place.

I also spent a while looking a little north of you in Livingston county but could not make the numbers work for cash flow, so I shifted my target area towards Lansing and have found the cash flow to be much easier. I recently just closed on my first duplex.

I also started a REI meetup in livingston county, the next one is Feb 20th. Feel free to come check it out if you want to connect with other local investors.

Hi @Kati Stoermer real estate investing is definitely addicting! Like you mentioned the BP podcasts, forums and blogs are a wealth of information!

Where are you looking to invest, aroUnd AA? Be careful not to get stuck in analysis paralysis, I was there looking for my first deal for a while!

If you're looking to meet other local investors there a few free meetups around AA. I host one in Livingston county every month, feel free to come check it out! Our next one is Feb 20th

I agree with most others, that seems strange and I've never heard of that before, probably best to consult a local RE attorney.

I just inherited 2 tenants and both security deposits were transferred to me as a credit at closing.
