I've discounted the rent for our SFRs on occasion, because good tenants are hard to find in that area, but it's been no more than $25.

I do lend on occasion and would be willing to look at the numbers on a particular deal.

You recall 8 occasions where people appeared on the property without prior notice.....

Yes absolutely, but they are easy to get lowered IF you fight them all the way to Michigan Tax Tribunal.I have on several occasions gotten taxes cut to less than 1/4 of what they were in one years time.
