How does this all work? 

Bottom line:  We do all the hard work so you don't have to.  WE:

• Find the homes
• Manage and pay for all the repairs
• Make sure your working with trusted and knowledgeable lenders
• Find the tenants YOU approve of
• Place those tenants (all that nasty paperwork is OURS to do)

Yes, that sounds like we do it all, but you do have to be employed (self or otherwise), have moderate or better credit (in other words be credit worthy or purchase with cash) AND be willing to add a new asset to your collection with little to no time and in most cases with NO MONEY DOWN!

Need more information about the process?  A more detailed explanation (Don't worry, we will remember all the steps for you):

• First and foremost, we talk.  I find out your goals (if you know them, if not, don't worry, most first time investors are not really sure they are just nervous about buying their first or second home) and we get to know each other and answer all the questions you might have.
   
• If we both agree that we want to move forward after our initial talks (that might be one conversation or ten!) then we have you talk with a mortgage company (unless your a cash buyer) that really understands the buying and selling of rental properties and have them "pre-approve" you for the type of loan you desire.  30year fixed, ARM, Interest Only, NO MONEY DOWN!, whatever you desire, they can find the right financing options for you.
   
• Once we have a good idea of what it is your looking for, or how we can help you be successful AND you have been pre-approved by a mortgage company, we start looking for the home(s) that will be perfect for you based on our conversations.  While we do that, you get on with your regular routine...that's right, we do all the work!
   
• One we find a home (or homes) that meet YOUR criteria, we will take photo's of the interior and exterior, even across and up and down the street.   We want you to see everything!  We will build a website (like the ones you can see in the 'Examples' section) and then you can "see" your home.  We will go over the estimated financials, a partial list of work to be completed on the home.
   
• If you like what you saw online, then we will set up a day/time for you to see the home if your local.  If you live out of state, no worries, many of our investors live out of state and they all have said that seeing the websites is as good as being there!  Although, this rarely happens, if you don't like what you see online, then no worries, we will find out what you don't like and keep looking!
   
• If the home needs any repairs (and most do) our crews dig in and get the work done for you. You don't have to find them, hire them, pay them, manage them, NOTHING!  We take care of it all!
   
• We fill out some standard paperwork and the mortgage company handles ALL ASPECTS of obtaining the loan that you picked out.
   
• When the repairs on the home are complete, we send in the Property Manager who advertises the home, puts up signs, talks to potential tenants, meets with them (also, plays phone tag, shows up for meeting after meeting that the potential tenants never show up for and deals with all the headaches of renting properties SO YOU DON'T HAVE TOO!)
   
• Once a few good tenants have been found, you will see their application, have a chance to talk to them, meet with them, run any necessary checks you want and YOU DECIDE IF THIS IS THE PERSON YOU WANT LIVING IN YOUR ASSET!
   
• One a tenant is found, we take care of all the paperwork for you:  The lease, application, move in-out checklist, the water affidavit, gas/electric name switch, security deposit, and any Section 8 paperwork if it is a Sec. 8 tenant.  Any and all paperwork that needs to be done, will be done and again, we do the work SO YOU DON'T HAVE TOO!
   
• For a limited time, we are also offering 1 year of FREE property management by Metro Detroit's best property management company!
