They already have deals in the works, they already have hobbies, and if they wanted to "plant a seed and watch it grow" they would grow a garden... but they don't because it takes too much damn time - and they don't have nearly enough of that.Anyone willing to help you is looking to get something in return.

People will decide being Westland/Garden City is too expensive and far from the job centers and the schools are not any good anyway.

The property caretaker - or gardener or something? 

Costs:loan: $3100Tax: $800Insurance:  ~$150Cap expense: 3 * $250 = $750Maintenance: $250Vacancy: 5% of $2000 * 3 = $300 (this is very conservative compared to what I actually have)Misc: $100 (this unit does not require a gardener but I am unsure of how laundry room is powered and other utilities)Total: $5400Rents: $6KLaundry room: $150Total: $6.15KSelf managed cash flow: $750Note with property management at 10% it would be virtually cash neutral ($150 positive cash flow).Note I have less than 5% vacancy. 

Generally the lawns and gardens should be reduced to a bare minimum and where possible removed entirely.

Hi Adam, the first Adam was caught in a lie and he got kicked out of the garden.

That's without a furnace in the second basement utility room/garden unit. 

(Ex: Filling up a pool, running the hose for hours for gardening, etc.)You do not have to pay for water bills for a well that is already established, but if you're talking SFRs, you shouldn't be paying for water as the landlord anyways.

I see that you are investing in Garden City also.

Many dogs are fine while their owner is home but become a major nuisance to the neighborhood the moment the owners leave the house.Tell them if the dog causes excessive wear (scratching doors, or chewing on things including garden plants) they will have to restore it to the condition it was in at the time they started the lease.It is so hard for pet owners to rent in some areas that it might be to your advantage to charge enough to make it worth your while.
