I managed my own properties for 3 years before becoming long distance invester.Door lock change out - $245Adjusted supply air to move towards the room - $246Garage service door repair - $245 (no details of what repair)Bagged and hauled away wood from trees - $175 (on a property with no tree or wood around)Gas oven, gas leak adjusted and tightened line - $248In addition routinely charging me for grass cutting and snow cleaning when leases clearly say tenants are responsible.

Personally, at first glance, I would not take on this project because the exterior, alone, looks like a nightmare of work and cash output and I can't see the condition of the eves, other wood trim, roof nor whether there is a basement that has moisture or water from the melting snow and maybe the basement alone needs serious work and cash to make the house is a condition where someone will purchase it from you.

What about snow removal and lawn maintenance?

A few of mine include:Draining outside hoses, and bowling out any irrigationTesting sump pump and removing/draining any hose extensionsCleaning out gutters to avoid ice damsThermostat upgrade to a smart thermostat to conserve energyFurnace cleaning & check upFriendly reminder to tenants on snow removal responsibility :) What's on your list?

A lot of lake/cabin type of areas are also close to snow mobiling, skiing, ice fishing, etc.Either way, I would definitely recommend putting a small heater in the crawl space where you are worried.

I previously wholesaled the single family but have rented it for years sub-market but the owner wants it back to sell and its in the $400's now.

Not sure on exact %, but from a use perspective, I'm in the Minnesota, so not having it paved would be a wreck once snow falls.

Turns out they got stuck in a snow-storm on the freeway up north by Flagstaff.

Also with a duplex, you may need to hire someone for lawn maintenance, snow removal and garbage pick up.
