Most people just pave, pour pitched cement or put gravel rocks around the foundation to disperse the water that falls off the roof.

Your tenant should cover the sidewalk in ice melt and it will soak into the cement and even melt snow or ice on future snow falls.

Make sure the agent is aware of certain items to consider (use) to maximize discounts such as:- Year built / updates / renovations to major areas such as roof, electric, plumbing- Building material - brick, block, cement fiber board all better than wood or vinyl siding- Distance to fire hydrant - closer the better- Distance from Fire Department- Alarm- Deductibles - Automatic sprinklers / smoke detectorsAll used to maximize discounts and reduce premiums.

I need more time to narrow that list down and to also cement my goals and plan of attack.

Thus, the next challenge and frontier for many DSCR lenders seeking to serve the growing number of real estate investors pursuing this strategy is to cement a qualification and underwriting methodology to properly qualify MTRs and accurately project their revenues.

Even if they approve it, duplex is built to different standards and does not require fire escapes, cement walls for furnace rooms, sprinklers among other things that the triplex requires, and the upgrade is cost prohibitive.

You will recoup the cost by presenting a nice property, capturing quality tenants that make the house their home and stay for a while.Some unknowns I have to mention would be, not clear how much you bought the home for, how much value you need to add, area/address ...... many unknowns also ... perhaps some areas will command a garage space more than others etc...It will only continue to get worst --- salvage what you can I suppose ---- the surrounding concrete may not be able to be saved if it is cracking, most concrete guys and driveway contractors will not tie into broken cement just FYI -----Feel free to PM me for more information #CLE#TeamTurnkey

Broadway there will cement that transition.

It should include: install cement board with all seams taped and mortared.  

If the renters still hose the waste material it has no where to go but soak into the cement and blocks, so that will smell horrid and ruin fresh cement.
