I guess I'm looking for mentoring from someone who's track record and reputation line up with my values and what I want to achieve.

Just be sure you fully understand the process to avoid any mistakes.When picking a firm, make sure to go with a reputable one.

If your looking for the least amount of risk and biggest bang for your buck I would look for a company that is a reputable turnkey provider thats actually in Detroit and offers things such as an efficient boots on the ground team, all sorts of established local relationships, solid in-house management, an operation that is highly skilled and well versed in section 8, a company that has proven relationships with both out of state and local lenders.

@Stuart UdisLike every industry, there are those who are highly successful, reputable, and advanced, while others are average, filled with fluff, or even scams.

If you can't take criticism, you should quit all business and hide in the sand.What to take from this post, which always goes bonkers when people try to play, is that there is a better way to do things on here and in turn, that will help these agents get better business and build a better reputation and not tarnish a whole company's profile because they spam. 

Hire a local reputable public Adjuster. 

For example, Norman Construction Services and JDS Contracting have solid reputations in the area and are known for both residential and commercial work.

I'm currently navigating the complex process of finding a reputable asset protection attorney with expertise in real estate.

Your tenants are customers, properties are your product and reputation is your brand.

I will use neighborhoodscout as my reference but use NAR, Zillow or any reputable source.
