Walter White hanging out in the back yard.

I do give tenants discounts for yard work or snow shoveling, but I keep it less than what I would pay a company to do the work.As for raising the rent, use the binder method.

The owner went on the roof using a ladder and took a couple of wacks at the chimney with a sledgehammer and big chunks of brick, morter and clay flue fell down on the roof and damaged the roofing, and rolled off into the yard where the boys broke it up.The put in wheelbarrow and took it to a pickup truck which squatted heavily when filled with bricks.

My tenants are responsible for keeping up the yard and snow removal.

Most developers would just utilize the extra yard space for outdoor storage.

I have an investment property with a small front yard and average sized backyard. 

And trying to salvage investor capitol the best they can.

Knock on the door and if there is no answer and the yard is empty, then look in a window. 

Experience- he has connections and experience remodeling homes and can remodel the property and yard, if needed. 3.

The lawn work will be an issue too, huge yard and its leaf time.
