New investment property with dirty neighbor
I purchased two duplexes on one lot in Massillon, OH in the 44646 zip code and I'm looking for a little advice on how to handle a situation. When I bought the property it needed a lot of clean-up outside to make it presentable. As I was working on cleaning up the yard I noticed the neighbors yard that touches my property has trash (including mattresses, furniture, junk cars, etc.) all over it . That trash over time blows into my yard making it impossible to keep it clean and free of debris. Obviously it will be hard to find good tenants with a place like that next door. I'm looking for advice on how to approach the owner of the property next door to ask them to clean up a little bit so I can maximize the rental potential of my new investment. Thanks BP investors!
