I'm worried about the damage they will do to the apartment the longer they are in there.I own the book by nolo press and love it!!

I'm not sure exactly what that proves.I don't know if you really don't comprehend the math and analysis to things, or are just pressing on distorting things to keep to the narrative of Detroit as a "great" market because it's your paycheck and need to hold that narrative for income sake. 

;)Don't hold back on the site with asking your questions and pressing into your areas of concern or confusion.

My guess, is that if your company is like most, you'll be hard pressed to have a career that provides you a salary that ever exceeds $100k.

It may be better to go with a 203k loan if I’m not pressed for time.

Not a homeowner policy.Let them know that if they vandalize your property you will call the police and press charges.

Remind him that with an eviction on his record, he will be very hard pressed to find a place to live, period. 

And of course I get busy with something else so I don't follow up or press the point to them.They told me they do this but I've not seen evidence of it and they document everything.I suppose that because the move-in and move-out are super thorough that nothing escapes.

You would be hard-pressed to find anybody with greater integrity.

Someone might leave $1,000 on the table, but they'd be a little more hard pressed to leave $5,000.
