I also would have paid an investor (someone who is unbiased, not on your agent's team) to walk a property and do a detailed video tour, before making an offer.

Quote from @Lauren Olicker: Thankfully, all of these grand assessments are now levied, and those selling have either paid or will pay them at closing. 

Here is the current list of cities:http://ritaohio.com/MunicipalitiesI am rather sure that the list has only been expanding over time.As a person/entity who earns rental income in any of these jurisdictions, you are required to file a return not only for the state, but also for RITA.

My biggest pain point has been not knowing all the little things that could have helped me out if I put them in the lease that would have helped me snip some of my problems in the butt and for context I am a roockie with only one rental property Tenants will not move in with out all utilities in their name When tenants move out they will sign a move out form for all damages if any over a reasonable amount Tenant will not hang fie traps out side of home those are just personal examples of some of my issues with my one tenant so what would be really help full is some of the little things that you dont even know that you dont know

I have about $300 on my credit cards (just finally paid them off for the most part, and have about $20,000 limit).My cash on hand is relatively light, but what my plan was was to find some single family homes in the north Detroit area (currently anywhere from $40-$60k and put about $15-20k tops into any repairs or fixes (not looking for total rehabs, mostly something I can do some small repairs here and there and paint, personally I am knowledgeable about renovating up until complex electric and plumbing).
