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

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

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!
