If you formed an LLC or Corporation and appointed a parent as designated signatory for the corporation that might work, but this is probably a question for an attorney rather than Bigger Pockets. 

1.5 times the rent if it is a condo in detroit 900 is a little high unless you are in a certain area the rental pool is slowing down as always this time of year you will start to have less qualified renters and less people keeping their showing appointments we have about 300 properties in Detroit and a condo would go for 700 to 850 depending on bedroom count most candidates are section 8 so if you are priced too high for the bedroom count your missing out on about 60%.

Hi @Dillon Dull make sure you call the local Keller Williams office, ask for the team leader and make an appointment.

When we were first starting out, I made an appointment with a mortgage broker.

.- make sure everything is well lit and inviting, consider staging for the appointment.- offer water or a snack (doubt it has much help but it doesn't hurt)- ask about their profession, stroke their ego a little by asking questions non stop and helping.

They sniff out motivation, overcome objections, and set appointments.

Once the Writ is granted by the courts, you need to go to the local Sheriff's office and set up an appointment for them to do the formal eviction.  

Call them to get the appointment to see the home, call them after you leave, call them all the time until you get them under contract... then keep calling!

These list will be distributed to our field "bird Dogs" and we hope to have many scheduled purchase appointments in the up coming months.I just can't say it enough....

Although I can't speak to whether your feelings are normal or not, realtors are out and about a lot showing houses, going on listing appointments, etc.
