If they were fresh out of medical school and didn't have a  high net worth I'd anticipate it being more difficult.I'd anticipate leasing to a dentist fresh out of school with no book of buinsess, and really no experience running a shop of their own to be pretty high risk operationally. 

They have a list on their website of who to use.Recommend you dive into Detroit's website area about all this:https://detroitmi.gov/departments/buildings-safety-engineeri...
