Furthermore, this is a civil issue, not criminal, so the police are NOT the correct party to seek advice.

If you start installing wood-look tile (criminal in the historic districts) and painting everything gray, you will not come close to the value of the good remodel comps in the more desirable neighborhoods.Good luck!

After the "I'll evict you on Xmas because I’m such a harda**” post, the two 100+ reply threads on “college is good, college is for the sheeple”, and the “should I rent to a felon” thread that morphed into a debate about nature of the criminal justice system in the US, it seems that we have strayed from our roots as a REAL ESTATE forum where people talk and learn about REAL ESTATE related issues to a venue for real estate investors to espouse their world views on any number of given topics that are at best tangentially related to real estate.

I've had lengthy discussions with the compliance officer at the DIvision and it is touchy...and despite what is in statute the Division has autonomy outside of statute...we have revised code, and administrative code, and internal rules, and egotistical politicians that need to punish people for no reason...so, if you're doing anything related to real estate with or without a license in this state, you're open to the Divisions authority.I had a former business partner pay Vena Jones Cox $13,000 for her guru wholesale program in Cincinnati and I about pulled my hair out....so, I guess the point is that despite the rhetoric, criminals are still actively teaching classes on how to break the law...it's like paying for a class that teaches you how to speed....it's insanity. 

While the federal policy bans evictions based solely on nonpayment of rent, it allows evictions for other issues, such as damaging property or engaging in criminal activity.

You say you are checking for repairs to the property but you are also looking for unauthorized pets, tenants there not screened and not on the lease, drugs, criminal activity  etc.

I might suggest:A - 6-8%B - 8-10C - 10-15D - 15+You do need to be watchful of clustering of many distressed/criminalized MFs in an area, which happens often in urban areas as criminal activity and unemployment leads to vacancies which leads to broke landlords who can't fix their distressed units, so more people leave that area, and it just spirals down from there.

Run full criminal background and full credit. 

You also need to capitalize your company, holding RE in a shell with no cash or other assets can also disqualify the limited liability aspects of the LLC......if you had multiple LLCs you'd need liquidity in each company.Some questions on the internet end up being answered by folks much like a convict asking another convict in prison how to provide a legal defend to a crime, prisons are loaded with experts on criminal defense matters and dummies.

It was booming for a long time.The Detroiters are scared to get called out for being lazy and criminals.
