Kitchen RemodelThe kitchen is often the focal point of the home.

If you had the time to read the 1,000+ posts I have published, you'd see that I rarely express any opinion (unless asked) and that what I mention is more often than not based on facts and figures.

IMHO it is foolish to list on one platform and detrimental advice to those seeking advice on this forum which is the only reason I chimed in again... but you do you.I think you get the picture better than other comments because you have a higher occupancy rate and actually on the first page often.

In my experience, late payers often become non payers; so, I stick with the practice above.

I’d often have to wait days for a response, and when Jenny did reply, it was vague and didn’t answer my questions.

@Saul Clavijo make sure you understand you will be getting into Class C properties at those numbers.Food for though below, DM us to chat more about Detroit:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

You're right that often the investor may not know what to ask for but more ideally there is someone on the investors side who can collaborate as peers with the contractors.

Because of the quality of tenant in these areas, higher rent ratios will produce lower cash flow than higher class areas.- nationally, the highest rent to value ratios are in areas with poor rent growth and poor appreciation.  

Often you are getting a pretty sizeable discount for your efforts, resulting in both captured equity and cashflow.The best ugly properties go quickly, so when I was looking, I got in the habit of searching daily.  

I think behind tenant screenings and leases there is a quality of a landlord that's also as a person that is the respect for a good person and the intelligence of making fair affairs.For me for ten years in the past I had a house of 650sqft (two rooms and cozy kitchen) where I always have been giving away one of the room for others who were asking for help for themselves and I didn't had any earnings for me by that, and that has been during for many and many years, meanwhile I was surely needing more space for me, for my business in a studio and for my own personal life I eventually could have been having.Nonetheless this, on last years I had no more an house and I needed a room for rent, but even before any screening the landlords were being unrespectful and very unreasonably severe to me, they often had making me lose so much time by no taking or going away to the point I had no other choices in the end, and they set me in the wrong places for me, dangerous ones, too small, too big and very expensive, unhealthy ones or not providing anything at all when it was obvious they needed to.To me this kind of behaviour is very wrong, mostly because usually they are the same people who pretend respects and acts as they are very careful and attentive to housing situations in general, but with me, they have been lying above anything and just disrespected the person at a human level.
