I would own the company as a Franchisee, but not sure if this a good option with all of the associated fees.

New investors tend to fail in factoring in all costs, including repairs, maintenance, vacancies, and property management fees. 

In Macomb county you will need to make a lease on a monthly basis where the water becomes the rent after non payment this way you can claim those fees into your eviction notice and collect

Do you do it on your own or do you have anyone search for you and you pay finder fee.

@Amy FirminAmy, If you are bringing your kids in to teach them the business, letting them know that trying to cut costs by saving on legal fees is definitely not the best advice.A partnership template may technically cover the needs of the parties at its inception but may not be sufficient to cover the eventualities that can arise in real time.If you do find that template, spending a few bucks to have an experienced eyeballs on it to button it up seems like a good idea.

Yup more monthly fees.. 

The Lite designation intimates a product with lesser features than the original or Pro version.

This violates the lease, but rent is paid on time each month, neighbors have not noticed anything unusual, and the tenants are hardly ever there so overall, they are good tenants to have.I am debating ending the lease due to the clear violation, OR adding the new employees to the lease for a fee with regular inspection to ensure only 3 people are staying in the unit. 

I typically recommend Nation's title services as they have very low fees. 

Non refundable pet deposit of $250/pet with monthly pet fee of $20/pet required.
