Homeowners will always pay more than investors, and the easiest way to get the property in front of the masses fast is to list it. 

As it stands, I live in the master bedroom, I have had 1 long term tenant that has been with me since the purchase and the other 2 rooms have been listed on airbnb and have found some temporary tenants through mutual friends.

You MUST understand this as the suburbs are usually much nicer than the city.All of these challenges are why we have a map of Metro Detroit on our website with the cities in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties listed, as well as 183 Neighborhoods in Detroit.The majority of the 48235 zip code is Class C, the question is, do you understand what that means?

I list some of my requirements:  the minimum credit score, income requirement, and background check / eviction requirements in my ad. 

For example, you could showcase the family-friendly amenities, outdoor spaces, and stylish interiors all at once, similar to the one shared here (this is a listing photo, so I would recommend you change the text to fit your guests).

The energy in person is different for me, and I've made some of my best connections and friends at Chicago meetups.Here is a list of the Chicago event from BP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of ALL THE CHICAGO MEETUPS that I am happy to share with you. 

Specifically for the missed items during the review prior to the initial call, as well as the piece on no action plan.

In all the above listed alternative investments, there is seldom any discount pricing and you give up control.

Can you then decide to list and sell the house two months later...yes.

@Dustin Horner you should be contracting maintenance work and creating a preferred list of vendors as @Phillip Austin has recommended.The first person you hire to help you should be to handle what you LEAST like to do yourself or has the greatest time savings for you!
