if it’s illegal today, I don’t want inspector to show up and have more problemsI read about houses build before 1957 so if in current condition I would go to the city to get permitted, would 7ft ceiling still be a problem?

It's great to be prepared and have your duck in a row but we don't even start discussing eviction until they are at least a month late or behind by 1.5 months of rent. 25% of the time tenants are going to be late and about 10% are going to be late consistently.

Furthermore if they are always paying they probably will stiff you in the end if they know they aren't going to get the deposit back. 

@Christine VasquezHow high can housing prices in the City of Detroit go?

I am responding as a consumer not a STR owner we had one its lasted for us for exactly one tenant then we felt it was too much work for the return  on investment we do much better loaning money and buidling new homes than to worry about people goofing up our homes :)I do have some MTR you know fully furnished homes in Vegas and those are money makers for us top of the line tneants paying double the going rate for rent.

Before we go full in house, we are really trying to dial in the quoting process, specifically with putting material lists together.

When reaching out, it helps to offer value in return—think about tasks like checking on properties when they can't, delivering materials, finding reliable contractors, or even handling basic project management tasks.Building genuine relationships and showing you're willing to contribute will go a long way in earning their trust and gaining hands-on experience.

HVAC move to attic to replace package unit and other side replace fan and heater for about 20k8. redo plumbing work 20k9. spent 10k to fix sagging floor issues by putting concrete blocks in crawlspace.There is big neglected strip mall in back as attached with loud noises and some weird smell of tobacco etc. also has big dogs barking at people even if I go to the corner of my backyard lot.There is one bad neighbor who has big dogs always barking who elevated his backyard and rain water runs naturally towards my sideBig trees other side in neglected waste land which I think belong to strip mall owner behind and city also pushing some rain water in to that waste land.I am in dilemma now1.

And I will go outside, and when I hear the noise, I will look at the home itself and start listing the things I love about it.
