I''ve only heard of ones existing who work on large constructions projects, not small single family home investment properties.Like John mentioned, new constructions or large rehab usually involve the city inspectors, and many assume that if there is a stamp from the city, it must be done correctly.

@John Mason Thank you for the insight John.

@John Davis be sure to check out all the city landlord requirements.Michigan also has an online Landlord-Tenant Handbook that is awesome source of info.Lastly, be sure to join the RPOA investor's group in Grand Rapids.

Quote from @Trent Reeve: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Quote from @John Underwood: At our 3 bedroom Lake House we have both.At our 6 bedroom Pigeon Forge Cabin we have 2 drip coffee makers and don't have a Keurig.So I agree it depends on your property. seems to me coffee pods would be much cleaner and easier on the host ? 

@John Anderson definitelyjust make sure the HOA allows investors purchase and rent from day 1.based on your budget, I know of another HOA in DFW that is allowing new builds for investors.

Quote from @Keith Mintz: Quote from @John Underwood: I don't know why anyone would take a chance on having a serial killer under their roof.

Thanks @John Krauklis!

Now, that meetup is in South County, on the MO side, but brings in folks from Belleville, Fairview, Collinsville, Cahokia, and all over the St Louis area.Now, there is a monthly GRID meetup in Edwardsville that brings in folks from the metro-east, as well.Generally, going to any real estate meetups in the St Louis area will find you someone who also invests in Belleville.I also invest in Cahokia, John.

I like BNBCalc because you can set up defaults and plug properties in much faster than a spreadsheet, adjust them more efficiently, and know there isn't a formula error creeping around in the background from a typo.Regarding how to roll up your sleeves and dig into comparables, John Bianchi has a video series on YouTube that's an MBA in forecasting STR income. 

For smaller items like this, I might use @John Underwood 's simple method: For bigger items or if things start being left and requested back more frequently, I may indeed need to both charge for shipping and maybe loop the person who cleans in on it ~ She'd likely appreciate a bit of extra, relatively simple work.
