I evaluate a little closer (along with the 2% and 70% rule) here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/09/02/real-estate-rules-examined/

:(A few things here prior to making any decisions:* Get an idea of what it's current value is now, both rental and sale value? 

Prior to covid it would normally take a few months to sell a $2M home, instead of a few hours. 

Also, I'm about to take the state exam in Arizona to become a licensed real estate salesperson.

We make the tenant pay all moving expenses for a holding agreement prior to ordering inspections and completing their list.

I have already had some experience with notes starting with npn prior to enrolling in the course.

16 Deals in 6 Months as a new student with no prior experience -that's impressive!!

Not everyone starting off gets hit with this, and if you can buy a portfolio it can "de-risk" the issue to some extent, but if you have one property and experience an 8-9 month fight to collect rent prior to eviction with a large repair bill after that it can be very painful.ALWAYS use a licensed PM in Detroit. 

I would also:1) Recommend you schedule the township/borough U&O at least 10 days prior to sale.

@Steve Theobald Do you mind me asking what type of experience your BIL had prior to purchasing the FIG four-plexes?
