There is also an ad on small "house" which is also being rented.

Lots of cities have restrictions..Arlington limits to a fairly small area of town, Ft.

Is it realistic to ask for and expect to get at least 2 landlord references and 2 tenant references (current clients) if I am a " small time" landlord with one property, not multiple units?

It's the second Wed of every month, a small group of people and variety of investor experience levels.

But 1) you're likely grandfathered in if they ever do, and 2) there are no talks or indications of changing directions on their stance. 3) long term rentals don't cashflow here, but our appreciation is super high.

You'll have a small empire by the time you are 30.However, being a landlord involves a lot more than just collecting checks.

Wholesaling can be a great way to learn a market and build capital, but holding rentals can provide steady cash flow and equity growth over time—especially in markets like Detroit, where entry prices are lower and rents are solid relative to costs.If you’d like to learn more about navigating Detroit, feel free to reach out—I’m happy to share some resources or insights from my experience.Best of luck in whichever direction you choose!

I love living in a small community!

Nature campaigns, direct mail, text services, accounting, etc all in one place. 

Many of my clients begin there, then transition to direct bookings once they’re comfortable.
