Our tenant just moived out and made several unauthorized changes to our house, including installing a Ring doorbell (which was removed, leaving two large holes drilled into the brick) and installing an outlet and ethernet connection on the wall above the fireplace (which he sighted as an improvement, but I'm not sure most renters will install a 40+ in mounted tv, making it an eyesore on the mantle wall in my opinion).

Here in Metro Detroit the "ring cities" we have a solid mix of $80-$120k purchase price, 1-1.5% deals or so, $200-$350/door, 10-14% ROI, "Good investment areas".

Because you are going to live in it I think his answer rings true.

Everything you wrote seems to ring true in every sense I can think of and appears to come from a depth of personal experience.

Quite a few end up being agents like yourself who just need a better affordable price/good rent ratio location.Perhaps, we could put some minds together..Our BP reviews can give more input.Californians tend to be happy with the balance found in our Ring Cities, bordering Detroit.

I get texts about properties that I don’t even own. 80% of the time my phone rings it is wholesaler spam.My experience is it’s waaaaay easier for me to change than to change others.

If you have a duplex, I am not sure why the other tenant "non-messy" tenant didn't give you a ring about the grass/weeds situation?

From the little bit I know from reading about start-ups, it is very tough to break into that ring without some help or knowing people in the industry.

Ring doorbell and Schlage lock?

Oh my, my ears are ringing from all the noise!
