What are the conditions of the streets, curbs, lawns, and sidewalks?

We also do a walk through, set expectations for maintenance, filters, lawn, garbage and go over the function of GFCI's, shut off locations (water, power, gas).

It's up on Airbnb now, booked solid and far exceeding my pro forma, although it seems COVID is creating an artificial short term rental market spike. 

It starts out that they're very attentive of the animal, but then a year or two later I'm stepping in dog **** on my own lawn because they got bored with the animal and don't care for it anymore.

With more than one unit, the biggest difference is that you have tenants complaining about each other and the property picks up more of the maintenance, like lawn mowing.There is a huge difference when you get to 5+ units as those are valued using the income method. 

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I understand as the $/sqft rates go up nearer to the city centres, universities, etc then open areas do reduce however do people in TX like their lawns and open spaces?

There is no need to engage in criminal acts and to defraud sellers by artificially inflating numbers, that's probably what brokers or REA would be more likely to do, since their commission would be larger the greater the amount of transaction was.

Now in covid, where effectively they all but completely turned off the fuel to the engines, well not hard math to figure it wouldn't be long before that 777 became worlds biggest lawn dart.

I'm attaching pictures of the front and back lawn (it's pretty much all mud).
