@Kyle Vogeler DOB/HPD are not intended to help landlord. Follow their rules, keep them out of your property and business 😆

Quote from @Kiki Helland:
Class A-D results shouldn't matter in the level of oversight of property (even before tenant placement) and quality of repair work. I suppose the picture is painted rosier at the beginning..But maybe that's the expectation in the Detroit market.
Completely agree with this. Management shouldn't differ based on class of property.

@Kiki Helland Detroit has been the most difficult city to find competent management.

@Dan Goeckel I’ve used a number of platforms for income and expense tracking, balance sheets, etc by property. Found REIHub to be the most complete along with being intuitive. When tax time rolls around you can simply give your accountant access to your account and s/he can pull all the reports and info needed directly without you having to send anything.

@Angel Mora We just had a terrible experience with them in Detroit. They cancelled our contract for "being out of process in the processing of your future S8 tenant's paperwork". Mind you, we fully disclosed we had a preselected tenant and expected them to take over the process before we signed on. They require 48-72 hours notice to schedule anything onsite so we've been waiting 2 weeks now for a Section 8 initial inspection date to be scheduled by them. So we don't even have an approved inspection much less a lease with this potential tenant. Baffling what "paperwork" they think they need to be on. The utility company missed an appointment and no communication from them or action to even reschedule. They are intent on collecting money before there is any property cash flow and less interested in doing the job they are hired for. You're better off self managing or going with a local company with boots on the ground.
