I rent to students around a university.

You will have a leg up on the language, transactions, inspections etc.  

Unless you negotiate a new contract or addendum with your PMC, they do NOT have to abide by any requests/demands you make that contradict what's written in the management contract.If they have in fact NOT followed the terms of their contract, then you'll want to send them something in writing pointing out the specific language in their contract that they violated and ask what they plan to do about it.If they fail to correct or address the issues, then you'll want to start looking for a new PMC.

Although I'm seeing some great deals happen in 5-10 unit assets near the downtown and university areas.

I see some stuff he was talking about in Baltimore like around zip 21218 where you have St John Hopkins University and other universities.

Plus so many companies moving and developing here like Amazon, FB, Google, Nationwide, Honda, Ohio State University, Intel, etc.

I am a Field Engineer with a Construction Company in Orlando Florida and a grad student in Civil Engineering at University of Central Florida. 100% looking to network and create genuine relationships.

Yes, we agree this is a PM issue / topic to handle.So we've left it for them to do so.They've already showed the tenant, from the contract language, why they are being asked to pay for this.Thanks again,

An experienced agent will list your property with the language, "no showings until an accepted offer", to avoid violating your tenant's rights to the peaceful enjoyment of their home - possibly resulting in their lack of cooperations and a lawsuit against you.

Strong rental demand: With major employers like the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals, along with a growing arts and culture scene, Cleveland attracts a steady stream of renters.Revitalization efforts: Many areas of Cleveland are experiencing significant revitalization, which can lead to increased property values and appreciation potential.I can't comment on the Detroit market specifically, I have never been and have never done any research on it!
