To me knowing Detroit area like I do these days I would simply pass on any neighborhood that has bars and caged condenser units and this kind of theft I dont think there is much long term upside and just a ton of risk..

Have the agent video everything, just in case tenant is there and causes a scene or refuses access.You will either get the work done or have a video supporting your eviction.

Seems like maybe he uses the fact that buyers and sellers sometimes lie as justification to set the bar super low for himself when it comes to telling the truth?

Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but Marco's partner and CFO, Ronald Fossum, was charged with fraud by the SEC fairly recently and barred from participating in any type of similar activity. 

Overall great macroeconomics great for investment - there's the booming tech scene, rapid growth in population and the job market, strong rental demand, and landlord-friendly laws.

I love the idea of financing land flipping since so few do it and I think it's the lowest bar to entry for investors who can hustle and are good with systems and calling (gold mine).

The Fair Housing Act doesn't bar landlords from discriminating based on Section 8, but some states and municipalities do! 

Shall we get a table for dinner or just go to a bar? 

Plus the bar tends to be much lower, so it is much easier to stand out.

The tech scene is booming, population and the job market are growing.
