While it might feel like an extra charge to tenants, these packages often provide value that indirectly benefits the property owner as well—like reduced maintenance calls or ensuring the property is better protected.In my experience managing a large portfolio of properties, these fees are becoming more common due to the thin margins in property management.

Hey I am an agent in Salt Lake, if you haven't already run comps feel free to reach out and I can send them over to you.

Detroit offers solid cash flow potential, a relatively low barrier to entry, and the market fundamentals are improving with a growing population and significant investments in the city.Since you’re based in upstate NY, Detroit is also a quick and easy flight, making it easier to visit and get a feel for the market if you’re considering out-of-state investing.

Do some research into both areas to see which aligns best with your financial goals.Good luck, and feel free to reach out if you need more help!

Will send a DM - feel free to hit me up if I can be of any value.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

What was the event or action you took that no longer made you feel like an imposter but a real investor?
