If you have tenants that you know and trust, maybe you could make a deal to reduce rent (less then what you would pay the lawn guy), in exchange for lawn duty.

I've found that giving people a lot of information up-front gets me more qualified people calling/emailing me.I also put a sign in the front lawn, but have found that online advertising usually gets me the most inquiries from the kind of people that I'd most like to rent to.

Continuing on.....If I happen to own 20-30 units in 10-15 different buildings, cheap ones of course, should I hire my own crew to do the lawn and snow thing.I just can't wait to find out what I have to work with!

I used to look at apartments or houses as if I was buying them and I also figured on spending at least a little bit on maintenance even though I was renting --- for things like light bulbs or grass seed and fertilizer for the lawn.

In plain terms this means that the magazines, lawn cares services, etc. that were billed to you are legitimate and you have to pay those bills.

Assignments helped to drive real estate prices into artificially high values, forclosures are on the rise because of adjustable rate mortgages, and the bank is stuck with a property that isn't actually worth as much as they lent on it.

Or perhaps all you need to do is mow the lawn, and paint the front.
