If you’re shopping for a Property Manager Company (PMC) in Metro Detroit, you probably want to know one thing first: what does it cost? That’s a fair question, and we’ll answer it plainly, because most PMCes make you dig for the number. For a single-family rental here, full-service management usually runs 8% to 12% of […]
Ask any seasoned rental investor, and they’ll tell you: Property management is 10% real estate and 90% psychology. When you manage rentals, tenants will inevitably test your boundaries.

Landlords, buckle up, because today’s ongoing eviction horror story might just make you rethink every lease renewal you’ve ever signed.

Real estate investing is all about seeing the wave before it breaks. What’s the biggest wave about to hit Metro Detroit? The Gordie Howe International Bridge.

This one is entirely focused on steering more financial contributions toward affordable housing. Let’s break down exactly what this order does, how it […]
We know a lot of real estate investors have their eye on Metro Detroit. Famous for its <$100k deals, prices here have been rising for the last decade–up over 100% since 2017. Rents have risen by over 50% in that period, too, giving rental investors great opportunities for both equity and rent growth. But if […]
You found it! The perfect rental. And you can’t believe your luck: It’s in the perfect area, so spacious, and the rent is a steal.
