Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (use as a template for your target area!)

You left out information that maybe relevant such as taxes/insurance per year, maintenance cost anticipated per year... plus other expenses depending on rental such as management fee(if you aren't manager), advertising cost to acquire renters, etc....

Where are you advertising?

We found this lead through SMS marketing targeting tired landlords.

How important is it for me to be able to easily visit my target market? 

I'm looking for a bit more dedicated time to analyze for example, my top 3 properties so that's why I'm thinking of paying for his time, since it'll be a bit more targeted and in depth than just an overview of the market. 

I wanted a cohesive, fairly upscale look, so bought new from a variety of places including a local furniture store, Amazon, Wayfair, Target online, Home Depot online, Pottery Barn, Article, and others.

I advertise on Furnished Finder, Zillow etc. 

Is that across the board, or target market specific? 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.
