Please take a look at the cash flow of these 2 garden style condos.

I'm thinking about using it outdoors to spruce up some garden/underground outdoor spaces.http://airstone.com/

He doesn't have to give notice to come into the common areas (living room, kitchen, gardens)It would be more polite for him to do so, but he doesn't have to.You weren't really expecting privacy in a house shared with 6 people?

Hopefully in the Orlando and surrounding areas as I live in Winter Garden / Windermere area. 

I hope to attend one of the Brew Garden meetings soon!

If they refuse to call you "mighty Lord Jerryll", yeah, you are not living in my evil lair.I am a garden and landscape freak too!

Last meeting which was also the first and we met at golden corral on garden rd.

@Greg Harris Here is the breakdown they quoted me:Purchase Price:$699,000 Number of Units:2 units Property Taxes:$8,388 Insurance:$806.50 Maintenance/Repairs:$1080 Trash/Pest/Garden:$840 Gross Operating Income:$52,800 Net Operating Income:$41,685.50 CAP Rate:6%There isn't rent quoted on the MLS, but doing a quick Craigslist search indicates I can get the following:For the 3 bedroom 2 bath somewhere between $2,100 and $2,800For the 1 bedroom 1 bath somewhere between $1,500 and $1,600The the following cap rate calculation I use a gross monthly rent of 4k.Cost = 699kRent = 4kTaxes = $675 - this is based on a quick google search for prop taxes in LA, quoted at 1.16%Insurance = $150/month (total estimate, I have not received an official bid)Vacancy = $280 (based on 7% of rent)Repairs = $200 (based on 5% of rent, because this was recently rehabbed)Expenses totaled together (without mortgage) = $1,305$15,660/$699,000 = 2.24% cap rateMy plan would be to live in the smaller unit and rent out the larger one.

The upper end does well and maybe the economy hotels do well but the other ones in between like Hilton Garden, etc are challenged.

Yard Maintenance:(1) "Yard" means all lawns, shrubbery, bushes, flowers, gardens, trees, rock or other landscaping, and other foliage on or encroaching on the Property or on any easement appurtenant to the Property, and does not include common areas maintained by an owners' association.(2) "Maintain the yard" means to perform activities such as, but not limited to: (a) mowing, fertilizing, and trimming the yard; (b) controlling pests and weeds in the yard; and (c) removing debris from the yard.Does this outright mean that tenant is responsible for everything or one could still interpret that tree trimming is not a routine task of landscaping?
