Nothing says you can't follow the prospective renter around with a camera repeatedly telling them they're on film and you'll know if they steal anything.

Ok, how about giant swaths of coal and steal country?

I guess they could be seeing if you have anything worth stealing, but it could be just a request to see how the house flows etc.

It's a simple and free tool that everybody uses, and that is at least a backup in case something happens - you lose your hard files, there's a fire, or some file nerd breaks in and steals your documents. 

I have had many buyers get excited about a "steal" they had a upset sale.

Detroit in particular has been a haven for out of state money and there is a sub culture that has developed of "contractors" advertising to provide this type of service while at best underperforming and at worst completely stealing from you. 

You are just starting out. you want to invest out of state, not locally.You want to skirt/evade the law.You want to engage in a rent model that requires a hands on referee at all times, remotely.You want a rent model that has strangers living with each other, raping/murdering/stealing from/harassing each other, without any ability to intervene.  

At this point Northpoint is stealing from me and I do NOT appreciate it.

Hey @Christopher Crooks, the advice I would give you is to spend a ton of time here.

Other feedback on here is correct; putting 5% down on a multi and expecting to cashflow within 12-24 month is not exactly realistic many times unless you are buying a steal of a home.
