Hey Isaac! You may want to consider using a property management company even if it is just to place the tenant. They should have a solid screening process and they may even be able to share data to show their success with placing tenants.

As for the options you are considering in regards to a lease, both have their pros and cons as you have mentioned. Keep in mind though that a month-to-month lease would also allow for a tenant to move out at basically any point (after two months, three months, etc.). This means you'll have to turn the property again, market it again, and screen tenants again, which all typically come with some sort of cost. The frequency of this process could definitely occur more often with a month-to-month lease versus a one-year lease.

Hi Anirudh! It might be helpful to get in touch with a property management company. They should be able to provide you with some guidance!

Hi Jayde! Detroit can be a great place to invest in rental properties. I'd be happy to chat with you further about this!

Hi Ainsley! I'd be happy to provide you with some advice, but I have a couple questions first:

1. Where are these properties located?

2. Are you working with a property manager currently?

Hey Luca! I'd be happy to chat with you about what to look for in a property management company here in Detroit. Here are some things to consider asking:

1. Do you offer any guarantees (maintenance, leasing, etc.) to owners?

2. On average, how long are the properties that you manage typically on the market?

3. What type of fees can an investor expect on a given property?
