@Mattin Hosh first, most cities in Metro Detroit have some type of rental property inspection every 2-3 years.It's not really a big deal 99% of the time - especially for owners who are NOT slumlords:)Also, a quick Google search will show that several states/cities are passing/considering similar legislation.One of the biggest mistakes we see newer investors making is NOT properly understanding Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Classes and naively assuming that any rental they buy will deliver Class A results.Read our copy & paste thoughts below and DM us if you'd like to dicuss more about the Detroit market:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Thank you for saving me from some unnecessary headaches.On that note, can anyone recommend/endorse a reputable educator with experience in wholesaling?

I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

Third, I'll check in my resources to see if I can recommend an agent.

Any recommendations for free tools to do market research?

What service/provider might you recommend.

I wouldn’t personally recommend it, as office vacancy rates are currently quite high.

Long story short my credit score increase 5 points after being with them for 6 months, I took 'FREE' advice from another recommended credit repair company and my credit score finally began to increase 

While the 6% property tax can seem high, I’d recommend looking at the full picture.

I’m temped to order an appraisal this month, or does that seem like over kill and do you recommend I sit back and trust the real estate process?
