Hope the snow isn't too bad where you are!

Snow on the ground here. :)

You'll have plenty of company, you may want to be looking now between snow storms.

- What is lawn care and snow clearing going to cost?

Less parking and snow removal issues.  

The next Denver meetup is next Monday if you'd like to get out and network to get a better feel for what folks are getting into around town. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/272660-denver-february-15th-meetup---snow-reschedule

Is it okay if snow removal takes place during "off" hours while many tenants are sleeping?

Stephen, this is literally a copy/paste from an email I sent one of my partners recently about a duplex we were analyzing (which had 16,200 gross income):1500 - insurance  500 - landcaping & snow removal1620 - 10%management1620 - 10% of gross inc for repairs/maint3252 - $22.95 per 1000 in East Prov (142K assessment)  200 - electric  (common)  800 - water  800 - sewer  405 - 5%misc/turnover/screening/leadtests/etc.It was a quick email so I might have missed some items, but there are some #s for you.Also it's important to distinguish between "repairs when you buy it that you have to do to make it rentable" vs.

It wouldn't be my personal investment choice, but I hate the snow, so I suppose we are all biased to something.Another market I am looking at is Portland, as it has plenty of jobs, a growing economy, a high quality of life, and an increase of 8.5% in property values over the year. 

I'm just up the street in Erie if you ever want to chat about your options and some other ideas with wholesaling.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/272660-denver-february-15th-meetup---snow-reschedulehttps://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521/topics/270722-north-denver-erie-colorado-february-17th-meetup-2-17-2016
