The stuff that is more volatile is the stuff where there are dog parks, garbage service, etc.

I'm always amazed at how much garbage I give away on there.

Residential and commercial properties are two very different animalsResidential leases are typically gross with tenants paying utilities, water, garbage etc. 

The rent checks always came in on time, that is not the issue.The issue is most of the tenants I had did not care about the property.I had to be vigilant with inspections and walk around the property weekly .Small things like they would not bring the Garabage cans to the end of the driveway at times the night before.The garbage company would not walk on the property to pick up garbage, therefore garbage would overflow after the first week.

They've apparently wised up and made their refund period just 3 days which is not long enough for most RE hopefuls to figure out that the data is garbage.

All utilities, garbage, rent etc all goes through the management company. then when the management company has funds left over they get paid to the Holding Company.

Garbage.

There are plenty of people who don't offer garbage disposals, laundry or dishwashers and make similar arguments.

The 2% rule is garbage, I would discard it and find a rent/cost that makes more sense for the area you're looking in.

I'm sure there will be plenty of scam turnkey flippers and garbage PMs to fleece you in Detroit - bring loads of $$
