First, when they run properly, there tends to be a lot less water overflowing the gutters and down to the dirt around the foundation (important in climates that freeze to protect basements).  

It's very important if you get involved with wraps or subject to that you understand what does it take to repossess the propertyEverything depends on you were locality where you live and what the current climate is it landlord-tenant court or foreclosure courtDo not depend on the Guru Materials, invest couple hundred dollars to see an attorney that specializes in evictions am in foreclosures.Many people don't understand that every state has its own issues, for example Virginia in lease options and in Texas in lease options

On the lower end, no gate, no climate control, no office on location, just a block construction building with 42 garage doors.

most of the areas where that is true it is climate related.  

I have NO IDEA how snow and winter climate effect maintenance.  

You'll be surprised how many landlords want to get out of the business, sell their properties and move to a warmer climate after last winter.I went to the code enforcement office and asked for a list of residential properties that had code violations.  

Traditionally it has been 1% but in normal interest rate climates 1% does not work very well.
