Besides that I need time to raise capital for a next move in RE, I also want to wait to see what prices are going to do the coming year or so: They're already declining in quite some countries...As for renting out, the tenant has quite some protection, which gives the landlord more responsibilities too, such as getting rid of the snow from the pavement around this time of the year...

I always go with asphalt roofing system if I can.

The biggest remaining items pertain to the crawl space and the parking situation.Here is an itemized list of repairs:Big roots cracking our asphalt driveway directly in the way of people walking into the unitsCrawl space vents broken/missingCrawl space vapor barrierMold on support post(s) in crawl spaceInsulation hanging down in crawl spaceRodents in crawl space (hire a professional or crawl the tiny space and bait stations?)

Roofs(asphalt(depends on the type) 15-25, Slate indef but fixing will kill you, Roll grade, 10-15 but cheap.

The home has a asphalt driveway and almost parking lot like area.

.- Tree removal, asphalt installation, roof replacement, windows replacement, deleading, pest control, interior design.

Example; requiring resurface an asphalt driveway vs. seal and top coat.Some cities have been taken to court under the claim that point of sale inspection is essentially illegal and unwarranted search by government officials... arguing that every nook and cranny of the home is searched by government officials without reasonable cause. 

Have you considered an asphalt surface?

I alway make the point of emphasizing that our properties (not just the buildings) are non-smoking and that our policy is a $100 fine on first offence and, on a subsequent offence, they will be required to move.Depending on the legislation, its quit probable you cannot prevent your tenant from smoking on the street or pavement in front of your property.In the future, you are well within your right to deny a future applicant because they smoke  - just make your non-smoking policy very clear up-front.

Don't do asphalt in Florida.
