I guess that depends on whether you like the smell of being down wind from a garbage dump. 

So I agree with both @John Underwood and @Sarah Kensinger.If it is actually legal, you would have to get it all furnished and ready to rent.

But, I guess,  it does benefit me to have them on the lease.Thank you for the release form.

@Chris Murdien   I don't believe you can't actually bill tenants for electricity that you don't pay for or you become a utility company.

Guess what?

Hey Petr, I'm extremely active in the Detroit market (from California).I actually just arrived in Detroit today and will be here until the 10th.

A cash offer means you actually have the cash on hand to make the purchase.

I dont know your actual address but if in Austin then technically yes you would need to get a permit.

I’m learning everything and anything I can by all available means, but would love to find someone in the same market who would possibly be willing to share their wisdom and potentially walk me through an actual transaction (simply as a spectator on my end, or in any capacity you’d allow me to be involved in).

The only reason we got it was because the other offers were hard money instead of actual cash and they had to close quickly.
