I have a Sect 8 tenant and have had a few issues (dog, non-pay of electricity, etc) But HUD recently failed my unit twice- once for a ripped window screen and the second time for pee puddling around the stove.

I think it is a great idea to keep trash smells, dog crap, and trash around the pool from detracting from everyones’ pleasurable living experience.

My wife and I wanted to flip this house because we love real estate, we want to be financially independent, and we want to improve communities in the beautiful city of Detroit.

However, subsequent tenants were evicted and the structure was left uninhabitable due to large dogs and their related debris.

My first month’s rent was approximately $700(I moved in at the middle of the month) the last month was $1300( rent was 1300 only on the contingency of me getting a dog, I never got a dog so each month I paid 1200 but the last months rent was paid for 1300) and my security deposit was $1200.Fast forward to September 2018, the month prior to the last month of my lease I paid my landlord another month’s rent.

I'm a little hesitant on inviting him to live with me while a remodel would take place, due to he having a dog and girlfriend, so a Duplex might be the only option if I agree to this.

That is going to kill investors... ouchAnyway back to topic I guessDon’t you love the US marketsas it relates to US market I remember when I was posting on the property forum over there. and talked to many AU investors ( who frankly bought dog meat US properties and lost a ton of money) not as smart as you !!!  

That way you end up with a piece of something rather than either nothing or all of a dog you cant control.I do like the idea of a 4 plex in that area, I am a MSU Law grad, but declining population and deferred and poorly understood maintenance issues is a recipe for disaster if not properly analyzed.
