Account Closed 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?

We agreed but only after they covered cleaning costs and left the property in move-in-ready condition.

You can go to Redfin or Zillow and see the level of finish houses with short DOM have in the area, can you at least match that quality?

Not the case.Just like everything else, there are always different quality of Section 8 tenants.

Lei, I'd be happy to serve you any way I can.For Ko'olina, I love the Beach Villas (as well as the entire Ko'olina area) and if you are primarily looking for a very quality property for you and your family to use, I'd recommend it.  

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

I'm curious about the size and quality of a house you could build for $375k. 

These areas tend to attract high-quality tenants and provide consistent passive income, which is a great foundation for building your portfolio.If you’d like, I’d be happy to share some insights about these types of markets and why they’re appealing to investors.
