If you're talking about single family homes/ duplexes etc. the neighborhood it's in will generally give you the risk profile.Hope this helps.

This would be something I would want to call and talk about first.

I would also be careful talking to property managers - they may have no problem telling about "other" buildings, but change of ownership in their own building is a threat to their livelihood.

I’m very glad to be here to read the blog &  continue learning from pros like you all!

I'll continue you to read on the forums I've learned so much in the little time I have engaged in the forum.

Dave Meyer and Henry Washington talked about their strategies for buying multiple properties on yesterday's episode of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast: How to Buy Multiple Rental Properties a Year (Is It Possible?). 

Now, lets talk about credit. 

In the meantime we are talking to the property manager to find other STR's in the area so we can support a fair market STR rent. 

It’s a market with its own set of challenges, but it’s also packed with opportunities if you understand the nuances.Happy to help if anyone here has questions about Detroit investing or wants to explore what’s possible in the market.Looking forward to continuing our conversation, Mattin!

I can't continue providing that service if the landlord takes over management.
