Several issues:- Are you providing wifi? 

This is the 3rd issue that he asked to repair since he moved in on  January 1, 2024.

Is there a specific issue that you are working on?

If there is no active lease agreement, and again depending on state regulations, send them a notice to vacate.I do not ever permit smoking in my rentals, it is one of the most costly and time consuming tenant habit to mitigate.Feel free to connect - hope all goes well!

@Danny Van you can also attend Oakland REIA and MREI, both held monthly in Troy.Regarding what to do, first you'll need to call the City and get their rental application to fill out, pay the fee, submit and schedule the inspection.It's mostly a health & safety inspection: smoke detectors, a CO detector near furnace, handrails, GFCI's. etc.WARNING: Warren doesn't really like landlords, so they can be picky about previous work done without permits - even if it was done before you bought the property!

Also, were there any unexpected problems or issues you wish you could have avoided?

Ultimately, it all boils down to you—your experience, your availability, and your ability to handle multiple tenants, units, and issues (trust me, they'll all come knocking).Typically, for beginners, anything beyond a duplex can be overwhelming.

Has anybody been successful partnering with a GC to sign off on permits and have preferred subs available for trades? 

I am having issues updating the service/s provided by my company (not the specialization).

In the area of town I live and invest, there are already a lot of singles next to true duplex next to quads, so there is less scrutiny in general around it anyways.The things that I would primarily check is was the work permitted and approved as a separate dwelling unit.
