The purchaser was looking at paying off earlyThe study was way over priced in my opinion.

In my opinion, one needs at least 75 to 100 units to support a FT handyman and a FT PM (or assistant PM).

I keep seeing so many different opinions on what is what.

In my opinion, the marginal protection benefit doesn't justify the extra costs and worse financing terms.

What should I be looking for in your opinion?

Plenty of those options out there right now in my opinion.  

Any opinions on short term vs long term rentals? 

Before I closed on the property, I'd expressed concern to the builder about the side yard which had, what I felt, was a significant angle.

I stand corrected:)They do have an office in Metro Detroit and while we're far from perfect, we seem to get a lot of their unhappy previous clients.In our opinion, they built a system for Class A rentals - where tenants have 680+ credit scores and rarely have to be evicted or trash properties.They then tried to apply their processes to Class B & C rentals and that's when their service issues increased.All this caused them to recently significantly increase their Flat Fee pricing and monthly minimum charges.

Just one opinion, but happy to answer any questions.
