This tenant has ignored my warnings - to stop smoking in the unit (multiple times), having unauthorized guests in the unit without my permission, have spread rumors and lies about me throughout the neighborhood, and have ignored my texts (only method of communication).  

I do really enjoy helping people to achieve the dream of home-ownership or seeing the relief of getting a property sold for someone who needs to move on.One thing to keep in mind...

For myself, I think my ultimate goal is to have an alternate cash flow to offset my dependence on a day job, which would allow me to choose a job I enjoy rather than have to find a job based on salary and ultimately allow me to travel with family more and enjoy life rather than stress about money.Thanks in advance and hope to connect and gain wisdom!

I do know that being an MLO is also hard work, but I genuinely believe that I will enjoy this job without having to compromise the income that I am currently getting (granted that I do work hard and get clients).If you are an MLO, please share your insights on this.

There have often been scenarios (happened yesterday actually) where people will ask me to do their simple return just because they enjoy having the peace of mind, and/or want to build a future relationship as they anticipate more complex issues in the next few years.

Anderson has been ramping up advertising campaigns via Facebook lately and I've enjoyed their presentations immensely.

@Danny Van you can also attend Oakland REIA and MREI, both held monthly in Troy.Regarding what to do, first you'll need to call the City and get their rental application to fill out, pay the fee, submit and schedule the inspection.It's mostly a health & safety inspection: smoke detectors, a CO detector near furnace, handrails, GFCI's. etc.WARNING: Warren doesn't really like landlords, so they can be picky about previous work done without permits - even if it was done before you bought the property!
