I think Dave Ramsey(who I respect but don't worship, lol) would be highly disappointed in me for even thinking about doing this, SMH.

Make sure you're performing credit checks, background checks, verifying income (calling employers and even checking bank statement if you need to), and calling former landlords to inquire about/confirm their habits as a tenant (cleanliness, respect for neighbors, paying rent on time, etc.).If you don't think you're capable of this, definitely find a good property manager!

If you want your LLC to be respected for liability purposes, it should have an operating agreement, bank account (so an EIN) (this will also require disclosures to the bank on your identity), and for you to full respect it as a separate entity from yourself. 

They are good tenants and you should continue treating them with the respect and consideration of nice neighbor.

What we get out of that is lower turn-over, and (hopefully) a little respect from our tenants.With that said, I think the more important question is: How long is one of our rentals empty when it does turn over?  

What is your background with respect to real estate, finance, investing, etc and what is the help you feel you need?

At which point I lose all respect.

@Nicholas L.I respectfully disagree.

Are there any specific resources you’d point me to with respect to learning more about Detroit?
