I went out door knocking and taking pictures of the exterior of properties that had appeared to be be in need of some TLC.  

We don't anticipate much income aside from selling crafts and doing outdoor jobs, we have savings for the rest. 

Amenities include: Sports court (Basketball), Pool with security fencing, Bar, Outdoor Patio with Grill & TV, Ring Security System, Mesh WiFi networking hardware, as well as a multitude of smart-home & Alexa-enabled features.

We set up outdoor motion sensor lights to try to scare them off, but they just tear them down (I think they tossed ropes up to pull them down).I think at this point ideally we could just catch the person in the act.  

Hi Jody,Have maintenance sweep them up as their first job of the day everyday.Put a commercial outdoor ashtray where most are found and tape a sign to every door encouraging ashtray use.No maintenance, then PM or you will have to sweep them up, because if you just leave them there, it seems likely that it will encourage them to not use the ashtrays.It might be kids, in which case--good luck.You will also have to schedual regular ash tray cleanouts.The I Dream of Jeanny bottle looking ones look pretty nice in most places.Good Luck!

As for VT, really anywhere near outdoor activities. 

((Check chimney liner for excessive soot and cracks)))Chimney may have a clean out door at bottom to clean the fallen soot out of--if so someone must do that every X.If there is no coal there is no heat and your pipes may freeze (renter has no money or his credit with coal company is bad and they won't deliver).If there is no renter there is no one to shovel coal into the stoker or furnace mouth and in winter your pipes may freeze.Some people say Anthricite coal is a clean as natural gas, well in reality it puts a stink of burnt coal in the air outside and there is soot.Check with insurance and see if having a ton (or whatever amount) of flammable coal stored in the basement cost more than, for instance, natural gas heater in the same house.That's all that I know.Good Luck!

Can one unit go into production (of rental income) materially sooner than the other.Make sure your workmen pull permits, when it comes time to sell, you will probably be glad they did.Watch your seasons for working outdoors, window replacement, roofs, landscaping, concrete replacement, outdoor painting, etc...Good Luck!

Also, I have a no pet policy but I was asked about a few baby chicks being allowed outdoors.
