If they qualify as tenants, you might need to honor tenant rights or negotiate a settlement to vacate.Market Potential: A two-family home and a single-family unit could be a great income-generating property post-rehab or resolution.

Hi Benjamin!

I had an experience with a terrible tenant who reported me for a bogus claim but by making the claim it allowed me to gain access needed to get photos of the condition of the property, and then the tenant refused to allow maintenance people in which really helped prove my side of the situation.If possible, explore alternative dispute resolution options like offering the tenants a cash-for-keys agreement.

The #1 determinant is the Tenant Pool.If you don't believe us, try putting several Class D tenants in Class A apartment buildings and watch what happens.

So depending on what your investment goals are and what type of properties (Class A through C/D) and where in the city you want to buy, that can directly impact the level of stability one can find within the market here. 

@Derrick Roland II Let's see, traffic noise, challenges backing out of your driveway, have to keep kids in backyard and off front sidewalks, big trucks passing by will shake the whole place, can't think of anything positive.All the negatives will reduce your max rent and make it harder/longer to find tenants.What's more important is understanding if the Neighborhood is Class C or D.

Please stop asking us for "the best" zip codes to invest in.Detroit has around 183 Residential Neighborhoods - wouldn't it be nice if "some proprety mangagement company" Classified them all as A, B, C, or D on an interactive map that real estate investors could use to make better decisions?

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?
