I will technically have 14 months built in because the title will pass to me in Nov at close but my 1st payment on the financing agreement won't start until Jan 2017.

So if it is rented and the new tenant moves in Nov 1, the current tenants get the money back minus cleaning fees and any penalty for breaking the lease. 

Always look for ways to innovate in this business & make money where others are failing Also re #6, at least your winter is short!

In Nov-2020, the property was refinanced for a 10-year term with JP Morgan Bank

Still trying to figure out how to get a handyman/contractor on service.2) Would love to know what innovative strategies other people are implementing for remote self property managementThank you so much!

Anyone have any new innovative tips to finding good off market deals around the Detroit area ?

I hadn't thought about it at all, and I love hearing about new and innovative strategies.Heres my 2 cents- Pros- no maintenance or property management fees, simple, Cons- No ability to leverage and make double or triple the CAP rate with Cash on Cash. 

The one thing holding me back is, how do I find innovative ways to come up with the down payments or get approved?

If so, this is arguably some game-changing and disruptive innovation. 

My property went in contract as rental in Nov 2021, The roof was replaced in Nov-Dec 2021.
