Quote from @Daniel Samandarov: With all due respect you are a novice real estate investor that is upset and frustrated with the standard UW process and wants to blame us for your inability to provide docs and requested items correctly.

I recommend starting with a turkey or light-value add deal first for any novice or intermediate investor investing out of state.

I am such a novice and only just starting my small multifamily property investment... very "boring" compared to what you are doing!

I own 1 rental outright, I paid 70k rents for 1000 monthy. I am in the process of refinancing for 100k to purchase a second property. I am using a dscr loan. what I cant understand, is why are my closing costs so high...

I am, admittedly, a complete novice but I consider myself an astute student! 

I work with these two:Metro Detroit Property Management - Mark HutterNHL Property management - Howard GenserThere are a tonne of companies and each one has had good and bad experiences, so no one in particular stands out.One part of the equation is that the Detroit market itself is a tough place and is not for the novice investors.Only seasoned and large volume Investors make it successful in Detroit.

RentRedi checked all the boxes for me, RentRedi made this first time property novice, show up as a complete professional management service.I can list my property Receive/review Pre-qual apps, full application and access to the background check with ease.Schedule showings, send approval emailsSet up my rentals and collect rent electronically.Handle maintenance and so much more all through the RentRedi app.
