Detroit has a law requiring you to provide a dumpster on site for the bailiff to put the stuff in - if you have a big unit(insert joke here) you could be providing several dumpsters at 300-375 a piece. 

Oh sounds like he is using (insert manufacturer name here), I use (Insert Manufacturer name here) because......".It's not always price there is timing and quality to consider as well.Good Luck!

The next step is to say "I need a (insert technique here) mentor who will teach me how to do xxx deals so that I can achieve my long-term goal."  

I think AI generated posts are like [insert euphemism].

It sounds like there are five strategies, and the first one is essentially inserting yourself into a deal by providing the funds for an earnest money deposit for someone like a wholesaler.

The value proposition that you're buying is the blank-slate property (read: needs rehab) but by the time it's done you have a new roof, new kitchen, new ____ (insert 50 other things) and you can then turn it over to a property management partner that can get a tenant in there. 

I accidentally fell into owning the rentals (Insert lots of boring personal info here).

I always go in with a simple offer of this is the rent, and we are also comfortable giving you a (insert something you need to do anyways like a basic, white paint job or a new appliance).This is one of the most uncomfortable parts of the business though, and the quicker you get over being able to have these conversations, the quicker you will be successful in this business.

I would advise that each be metered separately to avoid disputes; in my state there is even a court ruling that says that any "foreign load" on a utility makes that utility the landlord's responsibility - check if yours does something similar.One way to have lienable utilities in the tenant's name and still keep a handle on payments is to insert a clause into the lease that requires that the tenant supplies you a copy of the latest utility bill for such utilities, every month with the rent payment (or by mail if you have rents paid with some direct deposit means).
