I guess my issue is with grouping metro Detroit with Detroit proper and calling/bench-marking it all as "Detroit".

I generally have a problem with remembering to set bench marks for my GC's, this lesson will help me.Great attitude Heather.

Another factor to consider is that these types of tenants do tend to be a little more high-maintenance (you will be on the receiving end of a call if the coffee pot breaks), but they do take very good care of the properties and you don't ever have to chase them around for rent.I hope my post is helpful!

We are using this one, but there are other options:https://a.co/d/0kEUCXvAnother thing to think about is what utilities do you want to include, and where you want to provide anything else.We include all utilities, we furnish all shared spaces, and we provide all shared items (pots/pans, utensils, trash bags, toilet paper in the shared bathroom, etc).

If you’re worried about the pot find ways to increase inspections of the unit.

Just stirring the pot.

They've had to call the cops on them for loudness at 2AM,  a man urinated in their front lawn (townhouse with child in home) smoking Pot inside unit (lease says no smoking), lots more. 

Go break some pots.

LOLAnother landlord burned some sulfer in a pot in a house.

And these same unscruputlous ex-loan officers are doing this knowing that they arre getting paid regardless of actually helping anyone...greed at it's best.I just caution that before you bash HLP, do your research and see what they have done for people like myself THEN compare them to 99% of the other crack-pot companies out there...
