“I can’t believe you disconnected the heat.

For a city with such a large metro area and a growing economy, I believe it’s only a matter of time before this disconnect resolves.

There's a big disconnect in Detroit's home prices vs the progress there, and I believe it will continue to close.

The cons as i see it include loosing the 2 of 5 year cap gain exception, typically not an ideal rental because the emphasis at purchase was buying a good home for your family and not a rental with optimal return (my ex-home consistently has the lowest cash flow for equity in my RE portfolio), not disconnected enough from the property causes addition angst on damage and may result in over improvement.  

It will be expensive as you'll need a meter socket, weatherhead, breaker box/load center in the unit and then all the circuits in unit three will need to be disconnected from the present box they go to and brought into the new load center.

Walkthroughs are never detailed enough to be final (ie often tenants have lower disconnected and discover broken appliances later.) 

Lack of down payment, lack of entrepreneurial personality, low tolerance for risk, looking for the magic key that fits their desires, just want to learn, sold "Castles in the sky" with a gibberish of disconnected statements that while true in a plethora of instances do not add up to truth in any one instance, fear of failure meaning not able to take a financial loss without going into poverty, never told up front how much money they will need to spend to buy the investment in addition to paying for the class.

One thing to be aware of, and I hope that this never happens to any of you guys, is my connected bank link somehow failed or became disconnected?

@Michael BertschAs a general rule, we only leave a fireplace functional unless it has a sealed, externally vented, gas insert ... and, even then we may disconnect it.Check with your insurance provider and see how unhappy a functional fireplace in a rental makes them.

Also recognize that this market is currently disconnected.
