I am a newbie when it comes to long-distance real estate investing and was looking at a property in the Joy-Schaefer/Aviation suburbs of Detroit.

Anything below 600 is sub-prime but that doesn't mean you should auto reject.One of the best tenants we have had a credit score of 575 and frankly I don't know why it was that low.Now if we're talking areas where people don't have bank accounts and english is a 2nd language...that's much tougher.

Translate this into English."

I budget 25% property management expense in my properties financials, and pay our in-house property management company 25%.I’ve hired inexpensive offshore PMs who work US hours & speak eloquent English.

Landlordology.com has good state-specific landlord-tenant laws broken down in plain english to read.

sLanguage=ENGLISH

Neither of the couple speaks real good English but the wife can communicate with me if I use common words and I don't go too fast.

Instead of receiving $900 for rent, he has been receiving only $325.The problem is that he is not very fluent in English and the Japanese agent refused to pick up a phone from him, so he asked me to help.Is there anything he can do?

In Dutch it's "in het land der blinden is éénoog koning"No idea if this saying exists in English.. but roughly translated.. in the land of the blind, the one-eyed guy is king.Basically he/she who has what is sought after makes the demands.  

Warrendale / University / Rosemont (et all) English Village are some of the areas that are good and I invest in but there are others with no names that I know of and are just "North of X and S. of Y" etc....2.
