There were maintenance issues like new asphalt in the parking lot and replacement furnaces, etc.

Or just asphalt? 

I literally drove thru the apartment complex in Memphis only to find 2 buildings were burned almost to the ground, the pavement was all but completely destroyed flowers were long gone and there was no trace of landscaping to be found.

If there's snow on the ground or it's bitter cold, you'll probably be sitting in your office working over the phone or email versus pounding the pavement with showings.

And zero on asphalt/concrete for driveway/sidewalk/deck repairs.

Set your screen to send you new listings matching your profile each day to keep your knowledge fresh.You can do this on Zillow, but your research needs to become feet on the pavement.

Did you include HVAC, storm drains, asphalt and landscaping in your budget?

Killeen is a good spot, if you are pounding the pavement you can find some deals.  

Then it's time to pound the pavement and find the right people to add to your team that can help you achieve those goals.

It’s just a matter of networking and pounding the pavement.
