About an 8 hour time difference but our alarm systems are 24/7.  

Still have to be careful though, with the block-by-block challenge, depending on the Class of Neighborhood.Also, be sure you understand the difference between the City of Detroit and the suburbs!

There will be more wear and tear and multiple headaches with several different renters.

A friend of mine in San Antonio had a similar situation.. she inherited a vague commercial lease and learned that the rules differ big-tiime from residential.

We looked at a couple different options as far as % downpayment and I figured I would refinance in the near future to help the payment get down lower.

Each one looks at a property differently .  

The property has 7 acres with a 3/2 main house and a second separate 2/1 house (which also needs renovation) with its own drive.  

Duplex have different zoning that may permit additional units.

There is a distinct difference in the law between short term and long term rentals. 

If you think about it in any industry less transparency and more friction in the transaction will increase fees/commission vs reducing them.I like the idea as an investor of having different agents, a team of agents maybe 3-4 bringing me deals, but I think less of that will happen now as all will have to have you sign some kind of agreement up front.
