Save yourself the brain damage, clear it out, convert it back, discover a whole new class of tenant you can now get and enjoy the ride of eliminating 70% of the hassles this property delivers. 

I worked with a broker before who delivered and has referred me to Lendbase.

If you are nearby, if you have ever been a pizza delivery person, maybe deliver a pizza to the wrong house that may or may not be the one being foreclosed on so atleast you can see inside a small portion. we used to just go knock on the door some folks would actually let you look around.

@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?

But it’s something I tailor the business plan to just in case.So your investor could get caught in having their loan called with not a lot of notice if things change.

Does anyone have any machines or vendors that they'd recommend that would deliver?

Important that you follow the necessary steps, deliver 5 day notice etc. 

This deal showcased how strategic planning, targeted improvements, and a strong partnership could deliver impressive returns.

We deliver our properties free of both (noted as such in the lease) and then contractually make the tenant liable for prevention/termination.
