Detroit Property Management for Investment Properties
We handle Section 8, leasing, and tenant turns. You collect the rent, not the headaches.
- End-to-end management for portfolios from 1 to 100+ doors
- Section 8, MSHDA, and HUD compliant. Every inspection, every renewal
- Built for out-of-state owners. Monthly statements, photos, full transparency
Property management for owners who can't, or shouldn't, do it themselves.
We work with out-of-state investors, accidental landlords, and operators scaling past what they can self-manage.
You stay an owner. We stop you from accidentally being a landlord.
Detroit has a learning curve. Section 8, city inspections, tenant turns, evictions, seasonal maintenance. We've spent 23 years on that curve so you don't have to.
Built for compliance, transparency, and distance.
Compliance Handled
Section 8, HUD, MSHDA, and Detroit city inspections. Every inspection, every renewal. We've passed nearly every type. Your property stays compliant; you stay in good standing.
Built for Out-of-State
Monthly owner statements, before/after photos on every repair, transparent accounting. You'll know your property better than your in-state neighbors do.
Tenants Who Stay
Background checks, income verification, prior-landlord references. We place tenants who pay on time and stay long enough that you stop thinking about turns.
Maintenance Done Right
In-house contractor network, before/after photos, quality control on every repair. No mystery invoices. No phantom callbacks.
Detroit property management, done the way the city requires.
Detroit rentals come with city rules that out-of-town managers miss and that cost landlords real money when they're skipped. As a Detroit property management company with 23 years in the market, we handle each of them for you.
Rental registration
Detroit requires landlords to register every rental property with the city. We register your property and keep the registration current.
Certificate of compliance
Detroit rentals need a certificate of compliance to be leased legally. Operating without one puts your rent collection and eviction filings at risk. We schedule the inspection and see it through.
City inspections and repairs
We prepare the property before the inspector arrives and coordinate any repairs through our own contractor network, so you pass the first time.
Lead and safety requirements
Older Detroit homes carry lead and safety requirements. We track them as part of every compliance cycle, so nothing lapses.
Section 8 in Detroit
RFTA paperwork, HUD and MSHDA inspections, and annual recertifications, handled for you from lease-up to renewal.
Detroit courts and evictions
When a tenant doesn't pay, we run the process through the local court system and coordinate the turn afterward.
From "thinking about it" to handed off, in five steps.
Most owners are fully onboarded within two weeks. The first call is a conversation, not a sales pitch.
Free 30-minute consult.
We start with a conversation. Your property, your goals, your concerns. We want to understand all of it before we quote terms.
- Tell us your situation: Out-of-state, switching managers, inherited, scaling. Every path is different.
- Goals first: Cash flow, long-term hold, eventual sale. Your goal shapes our recommendation.
- Honest fit check: If we're not the right call for your portfolio, we'll tell you and point you somewhere better.
Property assessment.
We tour the property (in person if local, video walkthrough otherwise), check compliance status, and quote management terms specific to your unit.
- Condition walkthrough: What's rent-ready, what needs work before a tenant goes in, and what it'll cost.
- Rent estimate: Real comps from our active portfolio, not a Zillow estimate.
- Specific terms: Management fee, leasing fee, and maintenance markups. All itemized in writing.
Onboarding.
We collect keys, lease docs, tenant info, and set up your owner portal. If your property has an existing tenant, the handoff is invisible to them.
- Document handoff: Existing leases, tenant ledgers, vendor contracts. We take it from where you left off.
- Owner portal: Live access to statements, work orders, photos, and accounting.
- Compliance audit: Section 8, city inspections, and occupancy permits. We surface and fix gaps before they become fines.
Tenant placement.
If your unit is vacant, we market, screen, and place. Background checks, income verification, and prior-landlord references. Every time.
- Listing & marketing: Professional photos, syndicated listings, and active outreach to Section 8 caseworkers when applicable.
- Screening that matters: Credit, income, evictions, prior-landlord references. We say no to tenants who'll cost you later.
- Lease execution: Michigan-compliant leases, security deposit handling, move-in inspection with photos.
Ongoing management.
Once you're handed off, we handle rent, maintenance, compliance, and reporting. You see everything; you do nothing unless you want to.
- Rent collection & reporting: Auto-collected rent, monthly owner statements, year-end tax docs.
- Maintenance coordination: Tenant requests handled by our in-house network, with before/after photos and clear billing.
- Lease renewals & turns: We negotiate renewals, handle move-outs, and manage turn work between tenants.
