There are thousands of websites out there that are disguised as helping the public find the best of the best but at the end of the day its simply taking your info and selling it to a 3rd party as a lead.If you are trying to buy a home or an investment property and you have good to excellent credit you should always use an FDIC Bank or Credit Union.

Both are excellent platforms which save people immense amount of work and tme by compiling all the critical data you need in 1 place but there leads are way behind the county recorders/courts/notices i.e the source of most motivated seller leads.

@David Gotsill has summarized it excellently.

We have emails, video conferences, secure portals etc etc.We do have a physical office, and half of our clients are local.

Squatters can now be locked out of a property and their possessions removed, but a landlord CANNOT physically remove the squatters themselves.The local police are supposed to enforce these laws and assist landlords in removing squatters.The reality is that when you call the Detroit Police to remove squatters:1) The police often don’t know/care about squatter laws and state you must take the squatters to court to evict them.

I hope you are working with an excellent agent or broker, they can create leverage and opportunity for you while protecting your interest. 

.: Excellent write up, thank you for that.

Second main point: Avantstay has excellent systems to find guests who will treat property and neighborhood responsibly.

If the proforma has the rent roll at $1400 a month, there is a discrepancy that could lead you into a bad assumption on your business plan.Also one caveat, be aware of physical delineations around the area like bridges or railroad tracks or a canal. 

@Rolayne Taylor Starting with one rental in 2019 is an excellent foundation!
