Ask the next door neighbor.

I had to build fences along my driveway accessing a drive under garage, because the retaining wall was more than 30" tall (standard building code item) but these properties were built in the 40s/50s and never had a fence there until I rented Section 8 and they required it.From a tenant perspective, I never had any of the issues James notes.

When our affiliates are using the company for business cards, door knocking, managing leads, performing acquisition, or disposition with our company does the LLC provide them protection?

I put a physical key in a lockbox on property and try to have either a remote garage door opener or garage door keypad (for houses with a garage, obv). 

Real estate taxes $1200 per month on a $350,000 property(seriously) In Cincinnati, when you pencil it out, the break even point for a 4 family is about $85,000-$100,000 per door.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases.

Garrett, go to your local lumber, doors, windows, etc. supply store (not a HD or Lowe's, of course) and ask at the front desk if they can recommend someone. 

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

I love the idea of a home with an in-law suite or detached garage as a rental.

People usually have very strong opinions about Section 8.I only take Section 8 and have a portfolio of 27 doors.
