Hi Ryan,Welcome to the landlord journey!

New year, new laws (Senate bills 205, 206 & 207).Effective January 2, 2025, Michigan landlords can no longer consider a tenant's source of income when screening them. 

Not only do some landlords allow their personal and political ideology to be in the mix, but many do not understand how to manage this population.

If it sold for $120K in 2007  , and your rent is $2000 a month , the landlord is probably cash flowing rather well .   

I didn’t really enjoy any part of being a landlord.

Just got off the phone with another DIY landlord looking to hire a PMC.They really didn't like our response to their question, "How long does it take you to find a tenant?"

Quote from @Chris Lo: Which platforms/websites do landlords use to find the rent rate, how long the rental properties have been on the market, and all the details about other rental properties?

When an individual landlord prices their rental, they do based on what the other ones in the neighborhood have rented for. 

Yes, I realize it was the first time, that is why I would cover the cost in an effort to be a good landlord and not discourage my tenants from reporting future issues.
