It wouldn't take much for me to become the prototypical fat lazy landlord rolling around to pick up fat stacks from his starving skinny boarders, so I at least try to get my dog to the river or the dog park a few times a week, I go out in the garden and pull some weeds (but don't smoke them, those days are long past), hop on my tractor and get some arm exercises in pulling up and pushing down on the joysticks, and get some stair-stepping in when I forgot something down in the garage. 

Typically when it comes to housing you'll want to stick to 3-story garden style without elevators and 18-24 units per building.

You have no idea what is under there or how they treated the top cap.Who would want to have a garden on top of lead and old batteries?

I also plan on developing an ADU to permit 2 + beds 1 bath unit and community improvements such as installing solar panels, specified parking areas, common areas, a community garden (for tenants only), and rehabbing each unit to force appreciation.  

A garden variety LTR, whether in Houston or Ohio, conventionally financed, is not going to provide meaningful cash flow. 

-Privacy fence-Curb appeal with mailbox garden, 12ft maple tree in the backyard-Installed laminate flooring in the bedrooms What was the outcome?

In Chicago, many times on the MLS there is a garden or attic apartment listed as a 3rd unit on the listing, but when the zoning certificate comes back from the city, it will only specify two units.

There is also a bigger pockets meet up every second Wednesday every month at the Raleigh beer garden. 

I would come up with a hybrid option if the repairs are too much which would be to turn it into a garden.
