@Mattin Hosh first, most cities in Metro Detroit have some type of rental property inspection every 2-3 years.It's not really a big deal 99% of the time - especially for owners who are NOT slumlords:)Also, a quick Google search will show that several states/cities are passing/considering similar legislation.One of the biggest mistakes we see newer investors making is NOT properly understanding Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Classes and naively assuming that any rental they buy will deliver Class A results.Read our copy & paste thoughts below and DM us if you'd like to dicuss more about the Detroit market:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

We often use zoom showings, but they build on that mutual in-person experience.We don't encourage bottom-of-the-barrel neighborhoods, simply because with 60-120 year old properties capex tends to exceeed cash flow over time aka money pit.

Revenues get low he just sends em out to do a random "unit inspections" to churn some more maintenance money.

Hi All,
I’m a Partner at a Manufactured Housing Investment Syndication firm. We’ve been in business for 15 years, with a capitalization of $300M. Our growth has been entirely organic, driven by word-of-mouth referral...

My name is Ashley and I’m looking to provide value as a bird dog by helping investors find off-market deals in areas like Trenton, Hamilton, Hightstown, East Windsor, and Princeton.My goal is to learn, grow, and build lasting relationships with investors in my local market.

You can expect that you will be required to build roads, sidewalks, storm water control, utility taps, street lights, street trees as well as recreation fees as part of the development process. 

At that point, you’re building a business plan—something you can take to the bank.

I would also make sure the appraiser assigned to inspect the property is familiar with the area.

Over the last several years I've been in a heavy cycle of acquiring and building rental portfolio, flipping, contracting, and being a realtor.
