Here's a good post on what happened in Detroit:http://archive.freep.com/interactive/article/20130...

ANSWER: tenant interaction.

Will there be any interaction between you and the homeowner?

Welcome to BiggerPockets, a place to interact with a vibrant REI group, learn the real estate business and language at near zero cost.

Get them immediately on a video Skype call where you can see and talk to them.That usually gets rid of them 99% of the time and you have your answer......... : )

@Julie Kalar, try this link for the video replay  http://app.webinarjam.net/replay/2725/fdfd8b8cd2/0/Ig5298485g4

I look forward to our interactions! 

Make sure you interact with them professionally, courteously, timely, high-quality customer service.If you do these things, they will love you for what you provide them, and they will pay you well for it. 

If you get in touch with them via e-mail, ask for their Skype or Google+ so you can do a free video call with them.
