Besides frozen pipes in the winter, there's also sump pumps that if not running, could flood a basement and cause major mold damage. 

Tell him you'll give him a call :) This is one of the reasons why we tell tenants they need to vacate the property for any major repairs.  

And folks that need to do that dont have the capacity to deal with a loan that has been called and a seller that is madder than a wet hornet if you goof up their credit.Then the other major issue glossed over by everyone is there is a minute amount of sellers that will even entertain these transactions and most of the time your paying a premium for the asset.

All the cheap properties are MAJOR fixer-uppers with no Rent Zestimates - probably because there are not enough rental data points.This one is priced at $135k with only $1,152 Rent Zestimate.

I have my own designs and after uploading them and sending them out for a few rounds of marketing I eventually received some un-deliverables and they were barely legible along with their being major defects during printing.

Live way below your means and save the majority of your income.

You MUST understand this as the suburbs are usually much nicer than the city.All of these challenges are why we have a map of Metro Detroit on our website with the cities in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne Counties listed, as well as 183 Neighborhoods in Detroit.The majority of the 48235 zip code is Class C, the question is, do you understand what that means?

I am guessing that the vast majority of homes 10+ years old had some sort of water damage at some point, most had probably several.My own home is only a few years old and we had the washer spring a leak and a few years later the RO system in the kitchen started leaking into the cabinet.Seller disclosures are pretty useless in my opinion.

Quote from @Christina Hall: Sorry I only read a fraction of what you just posted … bc damn … lots of unnecessary commentary But I do understand Search volume managing hundreds of thousands of dollars per year in google ad spend and seo for major organizations If the volume isn’t high enough than you aren’t going to get meaningful traffic to drive conversionsIf there are 20 people searching per month and 10 convert and they are qualified and that’s all you need then great But the fact that you are screenshotting hundreds of form submissions is suspect and misleading to those who don’t understand hence the reason why I’d love too see your GA Good luck out there Humor me for a second.You come to the forums asking for help on lead generation because obviously, you are not very good at it, hence asking for help.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.
