This is not my forever home.Do you have have renovation ideas/items I should I implement to save $ or headaches in the long run with tenants.For example- a recessed dryer vent so the dryer can flush to the wall,- drain pan- a hybrid heat pump water heater to save $ in the long run.- smurf tubing- sound proofing between the roomsWhat items do you wish you install that is causing headaches?

And of course, both tenants deny ever putting anything down the drains.

You’d still need to confirm water sources and drain. 

My contractor sealed the holes, unclogged the weep holes, removed dead landscaping that was piled high around the house, and installed a French drain and gutters, all of which we hope will solve the problem.

Not figuring this out can wipe you out.4) Ring Cities are best in Suburban Detroit - PM us for definition or search for our company blog posts here that cover this.5) If you go into City of Detroit, you really have to check each block-by-block.

For rental comps, I do a market re-search of whats available around a few blocks comparing other proper/ amenities.

I've seen extensive foundation repairs done to cinder block walls that are bowing from external hydraulic pressure, and they've been repaired with extensive steel beams, tension systems and a drain cut in for around $12,000.4" is a fair bit of slope and to put in floor leveler...well, that's a lot of floor leveler.  

I do but BP blocks it so I just copy paste it here.

It is approximately 5 yo and consists of a few duplexes for sale on one side of the block and he owns a few more on the other side, he wants to split the sale up so he doesnt pay so much all in one year in capital gains tax.

Ask the tenant for a forwarding address for their deposit, if they don't give one send the deposit to your rental with the words ADDRESS SERVICE REQUESTED in the middle of the empty area between the address block and the stamp.
