I have recently started a real estate company with a friend of mine.

I own a STR/MTR management company here in Los Angeles, so if you have questions about this market, please ask =)

Call a pest control company as you definitely want it dealt with, but the question is who pays for it.

We are actually working with MEDC to put together workshops to help provide trainings for various regions in MI to help fill in the development gaps from the real estate entrepreneurs and what it takes to build a development company and complete a project.

You hired a management company?

Some companies specialize in cost segregation, which may be worth exploring or directing this question.

I believe they changed the guidelines years ago on the amount of seller assist you can receive on an FHA loan, so I’d look into that with your mortgage company before making an offer, but definitely use that to your advantage when writing an offer!

**This all depends on what the mortgage company will do on the Refi appraisal numbers, I would bring these items to meet that appraiser if you go for it..

Keep in mind if approved, you will only be able to turn on once for a max 72 hours so coordinate the appraiser if applicableYou bare all the costs of turn on and turn off costs with the utility companies. 

I have seen this work in high priced markets like San Jose Ca.. where the property owner is a very wealthy business person with no time for rentals and the person they sublet to is close t them either friend or bizz associate and will work the property to make  the delta as the owner just does not want to mess with day to day and there is extreme trust.The other thing I have done personally is with the insurance companies ..
