There you will be asked your criteria and then after answering a few questions you will be matched with 3-5 agents in your area.

Then I explain my process in brief and simple terms: background check, lease agreement, collect deposits and ask if they'd like to proceed.

Personally, I think the taxes are high and the services you get for your taxes low there.I know people that invest in Detroit but you must know the area down to the street and have excellent property management.However, I just talked to my CPA today about a referral he was sending me who is a client of his that has 30 rental properties in Detroit and selling them all because the City doesn't really help, charges for everything, and they never have given a security deposit back to a tenant after they stayed because of their behavior or lack of payment.

My assumption is that she'll say 30 days is not enough time to find a new place (if she can't promptly pay her under market rent, how will she come up with first and security deposit elsewhere), will not finish paying her May rent and won't pay June either so trying to see if it's best practice to have that eviction filing in process as an incentive for the tenant to move along quickly.As a note to others in a similar situation, what I've read here in the forums that I didn't adhere to was "stick to the lease" and if someone is a consistent problem, they're not going to turn on a dime and get better, you have to protect your investment and part ways when things aren't working.Any insight appreciated.

This deposit will let you know if buyer is serious about buying.

I made it abundantly clear verbally and in writing that I need receipts and invoices for work completed, because it was to be applied against a tenant security deposit. 

Most banks have it, it's instantaneous and free, with a text alert on deposits.

I deposit my paychecks there and for all the time the money would usually sit idle until the bills are paid, the heloc interest calculates daily, so it would be lowered by my deposited income.

Thanks James we plan to go with white or something that matches our theme and decor.  

Also make sure the current owner gives you the tenant's deposit as you will need to return it in full when the tenant leaves (because you don't know the condition of the home when they moved in) as well as prorated rent.
