I'm accustomed to amazing tenants and a generally reasonable attitude & policy from the city towards landlords & rehab projects. 

A very high percentage will drop out at the end of their first term.Learn your state landlord tenant regulations, operate strictly from the perspective of a business and adjust your attitude ("I would have a hard time not renting to them).

I used to think how hard it was, but can now do it in my sleep.Stick with it, great positive attitude!

You need to get to know the attitude and quality of tenant, whether they promptly report issue, to know how long of a leash you can put them on.I will give notice to inspect to check fire/smoke detectors furnaces etc. and while there insure there are no leaks in pluming, windows etc. basically make sure everything is working OK and have a friendly chat with tenant while observing the general condition of the unit.If I get a feeling of resentment from the tenant I simply explain I am a pro active landlord and am concerned about the maintenance of their home etc. etc.

I've had to check them when they got a holier-than-thou attitude like thry are doing you a favor.

, no return calls, hard to reach them on the phone, attitude, awful customer service, I've had to bite my tongue b/c they have me by the balls b/c I need to close and I'm forced to be nice, so I'm very sure that they won't want to give me credit and I fear if I complain and ask for a credit they might delay my closing on purpose, FredT the person is a "mortgage consultant" who works for the bank; 80% of the delay has been the bank and the only delay on my part was the 3 days of trying to find a contractor otherwise I've been extremely pro-active sending them stuff to get things going.

Why don't you tell him that Downtown Detroit has one of the highest occupancy rates in the whole US (I'm sure you know this since this was the area you mentioned)In other threads you tell people they can never make money in Detroit; In this thread you take the attitude of course a Billionaire  can make money but a small investor can't.
