I recently decided to get out of my main "day job" business(asphalt maintenance) and move full time to contracting work.

Pound the pavement, you got this!

I noted that there are pavements there, looks like I may need to remove the pavements before grading?

Especially regarding "good old boy" deals, I feel like Newburgh is a very "boots on the ground" city right now: you've either got to be here, pounding the pavement, or have a rockstar real estate agent doing that for you, shaking out deals. 

Based on past situations I've had, sometimes the company will voluntarily rescind the cancel, if you prove that a professional came up with a different result, timing of the work is not right (had a cancel due to the driveway condition but in the northeast no asphalt work is normally done in the winter when the cancel was scheduled), or other factor.  

Once we moved in we focused on revamping the yard of the rental unit to increase curb appeal and transform the asphalt yard into a nice usable space. 

Roof Maxx rejuvenates asphalt shingles back to functioning like new shingles. 

The trash trucks are huge and make a very loud wining, banging, beeping, diesel engine revving, sounds--sometimes before dawn.Sometimes they leak smelly drippings from their loads, that someone will have to deal with cleaning up.Sometimes they blow hydrolic lines and mess up the parking lot, and someone will have to deal with them (trying to) get them to clean that mess up.Anything outside the dumpster does not get picked up.The dumpster area should be sanitized from time to time if there is food waste or grease on the pavement (who will do that, and who will pay for it, and who will ensure it is being done as scheduled).You may want to fence it off, the dumpster company may require an pre open fence gate, and may not close it upon leaving--someone will have to prepare the gate for pickup and secure it when done.If you have a lot of Hobo's in the area begging, expect them to discover it's fenced area as a night time sleep spot and latrine area--do you have security to boot them, some one will have to do this (and clean up any physical mess left behind as a gift).The route to the dumpster will have to handle the weight of the dumpster truck, or it will crumble the path over time.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

The place is growing, but it still looks  desolate, streets are mostly without asphalt, people just go there mostly on winter time from the north for vacation, so the town is pretty quite on summer time, and looks like renters does not stay long. 

Currently pounding the pavement creating leads.
