@Drew Sygit I will be looking into those areas also as I too have thought about Detroit.

@Drew Sygit I'm looking for an app (e.g., Lessen) that matches plumber, electrician (within area)... with tenant whenever there is an issue directly instead of going through me (landlord). 

You should talk to an attorney like @Drew Fein about that one.

@Drew Sygit good call out - we'll ask for K-1s and tenant contact info too.

Hi Drew,Thanks for replying to my post. 

Quote from @Drew Sygit: @Yanting Wang many investors are buying, "build to rent" properties.They are all being told that in buying a new construction property, they shouldn't have maintenance issues for 5-10 years, which will increase their cashflow/profit.Well, tenants have a way of breaking things, not taking care of problems and letting them become maintenance issues, and this is on top of the fact that most new construction properties require several warranty repairs by the builder in the first 12 months.As others have pointed out, you must live in the property for the first 12 months for an FHA mortgage or take your chances with committing mortgage fraud. do a new construction multifamily don't buy a single family for BTR the numbers are garbage. density is the only win for economies of scale, micro units as well. small, well designed multiple dwelling properties are superior. 

@Drew Sygit- hey man.
