It's not a hard program to learn and there are no "secrets" to be successful.We've managed thousands of S8 leases during our 24 years in the Detroit market, DM us if you'd like to chat.

The result was that the lower level which is partially below grade did not have central air. 

If you can't do that, you should consider a property manager to keep you out of trouble.

However will that help influence SFH or Luxury MFs in lets say the hill section to appreciate to the levels of 2k a month?

Property managers use many of the same options available to all of us such as RentRedi, Zillow Rent Manager, Avail.

I'm an out of state investor and will have them manage more properties in the future.

I recently attended a webinar, Master your Rentals: Save Money and Time with effective Self-management.  

Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

We have a handful that we manage for clients.
