Their pro formas felt optimistic with providing 6% annual appreciation and property management that is only about 6% of rent so I take it with a grain of salt (they offer their own property management services but it has terrible reviews on Yelp so I would probably go with someone else). 

The fact is that these laws exist in many places, including Salt Lake City, Utah; Logan, Utah; Hartford, Connecticut; and Newark, New Jersey.

However, we've never actually filed a claim, so take this with a grain of salt. 

At another property with just the sidewalk I let the tenants take care of it, but the liability of these steep stairs makes it too important for it to be haphazard or me having to scold them to shovel and salt the walk and steps.I know in snowy areas people with houses contract plowing for the winter at a flat rate.

I am not an accountant though, so take my input with a grain of salt.

If salt lake city is a low cap rate market then its impossible.

Take it with a grain of salt as safety is subjective.You could also ask your Realtor and property manager their thoughts and maybe next time they are in the area to take photos.

I use zillow, but I take the credit score with a grain of salt.

I run the check anyway but with a grain of salt. 

As for other amenities, some crowd-pleasers that won't break the bank are coffee maker + starter pack of pods, basic workout equipment (yoga mat, resistance bands), phone charging stations by the beds, and basic kitchen essentials like olive oil, salt/pepper, coffee filters, etc.
