All liability will be put on you As a landlord otherwise. 

I’d love to connect with experienced landlords and investors who can share advice on getting started, selecting properties, and navigating the Section 8 process.

Mounting shelves, a TV, or other large items that requires screws, bolts, or anchors should be regulated by the landlord and charged to the tenant. 

@Adedayo Adetunji people that break into a property & occupy it are called "squatters".On September 24, 2014, three new Michigan Statutes went into effect to make squatting a crime and give landlords more options to remove them (see Michigan HB 5069/PA223, HB 5070/PA224, HB 5071/PA225).

I was broke enough that I couldn't afford rent at my apartment, but fortunately my landlord didn't notice, thanks in part or in whole due to some substance abuse issues.Anyways, when visiting my mom in the neighborhood where I grew up, I had noticed this construction van at a house on our street.

Since you're wrapping up paperwork, make sure your lease terms are solid, get the right insurance (landlord + homeowner), and set aside some cash for future repairs.

For example, if the typical rent per unit is $1,500 (3bd 2ba), my landlord at the time would have one unit with three rooms and four people within the unit (one person per room and one room with two people), each paying around $500.

Some questions for the people with experience: What are some basic landlord problems I will most likely run into?

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

I also broker ALR's in Colorado, and create deals in which I connect operators with landlords looking to lease option the properties.PM me so we can connect!
