Having a reliable local team, including a property manager and a realtor familiar with the market, is the best way to avoid high-crime areas.If you’re leaning towards Richmond or have more questions about the market here, feel free to reach out.

I just had tenants move out of my investment property (duplex) without paying for the last month's rent, and the damage they inflicted onto the property exceeds their security deposit amount.

In my round-up note as we moved out, I mentioned that the ice maker in the fridge hadn't worked in many years and the model was known for issues so we just never replaced it. (8 year old fridge.) 

If you move out of state, are they coming with you or would they maybe want to move back into their house?

It’s a huge move, and you’re already starting off strong by asking questions and soaking in as much knowledge as possible.

Sold it early because of my relationship and had to move.

I would also target ones that are ideal for renting out when you move out so maybe do a lower price point. 

In the end, we are all on the same team here.I don't remember ever giving anyone any advice.

They are about to move out and I’m nervous to rent to a stranger in the future with this same policy.

HI all we to are Canadian and invest in Detroit where we have a great team on the ground.
