Do city inspections work or not is the subject of this blog Metro Detroit home inspections. Do required city home inspections bring up home values?  No I don't think so.   One of my bosses argued that it didn't improve the cities that had them.

But I disagree.  I think it helps the cities that have them.  Many of the cities that have instituted them are cities that aren't the "desirable" cities or the "hot" cities.  They are just average cities that may have fallen a little.

What I think is that is has helped the cities.  By requiring driveways to be fixed, by requiring the homes be brought up to code has helped the cities.  By the cities doing required home inspections when the home gets sold keeps homes in better shape.  For example Detroit has a required city inspection but they fail in the follow up.  They just want the money for the home inspections. 

Where other cities like Taylor, Dearborn, Inkster, Westland require you to do the repairs before you move in.  Some title companies require the Certificate Of Occupancy before you close.  I myself don't like government getting involved in our personal affairs or our homes, but if it is a choice of becoming like Detroit or keeping a local city up.

I think it has helped Taylor, Inkster, Dearborn, and Westland keep the neighborhoods up.  Sure it may not have improved the neighborhoods, or improved the city.  But the cities have not fallen further.  I think it is a good thing in some ways.  So if you buy a home in Taylor, Inkster, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and Westland be prepared to have a city inspection done.  Be prepared to do some repairs.

If you have any questions feel free to call or email me about any of the local areas.

Thermo Cool Garden City is one company I wouldn't use.  I bought a house to rent out.  When you rent out a home in Livonia Michigan you have to have a yearly inspection.  Well of course this Livonia foreclosure had to have things fixed.  I hired an

electrician - TriStar Electric

Plumber -  G & G Plumbing

Painting - Kay Painting

Carpeting - Home Depot

These companies all did what they said.  They showed up on the day they said and did their job.

But I wouldn't hire Thermo Cool of Garden City.  I called them on Thursday.  Thermo Cool said they would show up on Friday.  Well Friday night they called and said would it be okay to show up over the weekend.  I said no problem.  Well they never showed upall weekend.  Well Wednesday I call Thermo Cool Garden City and they said not to give up on them that they would get to it early next week when it cooled down. 

Well I called Thermo Cool Garden City on Tuesday after Memorial Day.  They said they would be there on Wednesday.  Nobody showed up again.  I called on Thursday to let them know I was upset with them not showing up when they said they would.  Therma Cool said they would hope to get to it over the weekend.  Another promise to "get" there. 

Unfortunately I had no more desire to work with what I would call an unreliable service man.  I got tired of promises to show up.  Thermo Cool even said it was "too hot" to do the work.  Now this is just my opinion but I wouldn't recommend Therma Cool to anybody.

I am going to try one of these companies:

     Dan Wood Heating & Cooling  (734) 261-1810

     Slazor Heating & Cooling  734-266-5475

    Family Heating & Cooling  (734) 237-1035

    Deans Heating & Cooling   (734) 261-5279

But luckily many contractors show up and do their work.  I have nothing but good things to say about the other contractors.

If you are buying Detroit investment properties and hope to make money, it is buyer beware.  The home may have all of these items when you buy it, but you have a good chance of losing them if the house stays vacant.  There are so many Detroit homes that have been stripped of copper plumbing, electrical wiring, furnaces, water heaters, kitchen cabinets, and light fixtures.

How often do Detroit homes get stripped?  All the time.  I would say 90% of Detroit homes get something stolen out of them.  So if you are planning to buy a Detroit investment property plan on dealing with this.s

Here are photos of one home that had been stripped.

Missing windows

                                                       Gone is  the bathroom sink and cabinets

No furnace here

They cut all the electrical out for the copper all the way back to the fuse box!!!! 

Kitchen is gone too!

Hey if there is no kitchen or bathroom cabinets you don't need a water heater you might as well as steal the hot water heater.

Some items are very apparent when they are missing.  But when Buying Detroit investment properties you have to be very observant.... sometimes the plumbing or electrical lines have been cut and you don't see it.  So if you are buying Detroit investment properties - buyer beware!!!!

A guy today gave me a novel idea for Detroit homes and a possible way to help slavage the city.  A guy from out of state called me today and asked me if the City of Detroit had a program that gave away delapitated homes if people fixed them up.  He wanted to get a free home and fix it up.  Of course he then wanted to sell it.

It was a novel idea on how to help revitalize Detroit homes.  It would help the City of Detroit get rid of damaged homes.  The City of Detroit would save money for tearing down the houses.  It would help put homes back on the market.  It would help put more homes back into the property tax pools.  It would give back tax money.  All of good things for the city.

For the investor would it be a good investment?  That I could not guess.  Would an investor make money doing this?  I don't know.  But it would
