She says she can show me the tax code, but I didn't want to argue. 

I’m also a licensed real estate agent in Michigan and still actively investing there, working with a team on the ground that handles sourcing, renovations, and management.Couple quick thoughts for you:Neighborhoods / Zip Codes: Detroit is super block-by-block.

Interest is applied daily using the IRS underpayment rate, which is the federal short-term rate + 3% (currently ~8% annually as of 2025).Tax Code: IRC §6654 governs this.

I don't know about bears, but I was at a bar the other night and saw a couple of cougars...

I also consulted my profession’s code of ethics. 

Enforcement of this law is vague and looks to only come into play when a tenant notifies code enforcement, but it is something for investors to be aware of.

If so, what zip code is it in and how much is the rent? 

You will likely have to bring some things up to code to make it legal and conforming.

I ran some quick comps on rent in that zip code and the most I could find for a 3 BR is ~$1,500If you really like this property, I suggest offering $170k and perhaps agreeing on a counter at $180k.Hi @Jaycee Greene, thanks for your review!

Hey tech-minded real estate folks,I’m working on a lightweight tool that acts as a smart chatbot for property listings.It would:🤖 Automatically respond to common buyer questions (owner finance, down payment, availability)📥 Collect contact info, budget, financing, urgency🔎 Score the lead and only send through those who seem seriousUse case: agent posts a link or QR code on a listing, in their email signature, or on Facebook Marketplace → bot handles all first-contact messages.I’ve seen agents spending hours answering the same questions over and over.Would you (or someone you know) actually use something like this?
