that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

Hey Lucas, I've been investing in Detroit since 2019 and currently hold 12-doors there.I've done it all... buying with tenants, Section 8, full gut rehabs (to the studs), cosmetic BRRRR's, and I even run an STR there.I live in California currently but lived in Troy from 2017-2022.

Your local REIGs will be a great way to meet fellow flippers and look for those that have experience but may not have the PM skills you do or can't find a deal. 

They know they have problems - they've told me as much - but their maintenance manager just grins and bears it as they wait for change because IT controls it all.As a manager of 15+ years, and of at one time nearly 4,000 doors, it appears to me that their current structure is not conducive to the hands-on, seasoned, fast-paced, and decision-driven style you need to be a successful manager.

A couple years ago, I went to see a tenant occupied house but the tenant wouldn't answer the door to allow me in.

I know that if I could get my foot in the door that long term profitability is relative, but entry point here is much higher.

PM only put a 3 day notice on their door a few days ago, and continues to just ask them to pay rent and let them make excuses. 

By house hacking my first condo, I've been able to scale to now 14 rental doors between four different states.4.

I currently live next door to one of the areas most popular restaurants and my vehicle is somewhat distinctive if you notice it simply because no one else in the area has one, not because it’s an expensive sports car or something.
