We can disagree on the No Showings Until Accepted Offer part.

@Mac Boeve Michigan statute requires you to provide a MoveIn Checklist to every tenant, which they have 2 weeks to complete and return.If you fail to provide one to tenant, it may exempt them from MoveOut Damages.If tenant fails to provide you a completed MoveIn Checklist, they assume all MoveOut Damages.If tenant fails to give you forwarding address within 4 days of MoveOut, you technically don't have to give them an Itimized List of Damages - meaning you can theoretically charge them for anything, any price.You should know, a judge may disagree with you if tenant takes you to Small Claims Court to challenge your SD deducations. 

I do have to disagree with you on the one size fits all.

I would suggest that any time you review refinancing that you examine it will a 3 year "break even" threshold.  

I'm not disagreeing with the above.

I am still curious to get feedback from current Hazel Green investors, as I would certainly re-examine that region if the data and feedback was impressive. 

We used to do a video of the MoveIn Checklist a tenant filled out - with them in the video pointing out all the issues.We did this to have "irrefutable" evidence of any tenant-caused damages, to charge them.It usually worked, but we did have a judge or two disagree with us or not allow us to play our video in court:(Point is, if you have great documentation you can charge the tenant for damages they cause.

They disagree when they want the house cleaned as I didn’t establish house rules assuming they are adults and would figure it out.

I am fine with this when it comes to learning, but when it comes to placing capital, I disagree.  

There could be a contested title (unknown heir, brother/sister disagree on selling the property, taxes due claims by state as a result of passing, IRS, so on,) at this point.It will likely take one of the heirs to get organized, start the process to become the personal representative/executor and petition the court.
