Does anyone have any machines or vendors that they'd recommend that would deliver?

I purchase the materials and have them delivered or deliver them to the job site.

Drawing from my experience delivering over 550 investment properties, I can say with certainty that self-management isn't practical for most investors.

I shouldn't have to "look out" for major issues, if a tenant moves out before the close date and the contract states that the unit will be delivered occupied, looking out for my best interest would be to find out when they are moving out and the state of the unit.I've had rentals for many years and this is the worst buying experience that I have had.Our contract was about a year ago and the reason why I am responding now is for two reasons 1) to warn other buyers and 2) because a potential buyer of yours actually reached out to me and suggested that I post my story on this platform.Keep on responding Katee.

A client of mine recently invested there and raves aboutt the ease of finding solid contractors who stick to the budget.One piece of advice: before jumping into any market, spend time understanding the local economy, demand drivers (like job growth and population trends), and the landloard laws.

This deal showcased how strategic planning, targeted improvements, and a strong partnership could deliver impressive returns.

I have filed for eviction on one tenant that I have placed in my career, and I was able to negotiate him out long before the court date. 99% of the time, eviction should not be a driver for whether you invest. 

@Mattin Hosh first, most cities in Metro Detroit have some type of rental property inspection every 2-3 years.It's not really a big deal 99% of the time - especially for owners who are NOT slumlords:)Also, a quick Google search will show that several states/cities are passing/considering similar legislation.One of the biggest mistakes we see newer investors making is NOT properly understanding Neighborhood/Property/Tenant Classes and naively assuming that any rental they buy will deliver Class A results.Read our copy & paste thoughts below and DM us if you'd like to dicuss more about the Detroit market:)-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

They do not deliver on what they said.  

We will only see ~240,000 units delivered in 2026, a much more moderated level.
