These both look over a park and have all the parking, utilities, and sidewalks in.  

Without a cost segregation study, you would depreciate the $12M over a 39 year period, $307,692 per year.Within this office building, you have assets such as paved parking, specialty electrical, finishes, carpeting, landscaping, sidewalks, office furniture, electrical systems, plumbing systems, etc.

Issue is, where fencing was, there is a 1.5’ drop to the sidewalk.

Still, at the right price, that's actually good for us.More troubling to me was the very obvious gang graffiti on the front of the building, on the sidewalk in front of the building, and on nearby buildings (including on a single family home).

It's not my business model, but having anyone live outdoors like an animal in the USA when they hand out Section-8 to illegals upon arrival is a hard pill to swallow.They need to sort the homeless into short term vs. forever types.Steer the help to the short-term helpable when they need it, and publicly house the "more eccentric" types out in the county away from civilization.Maybe have a poor farm where they can plant gardens to feed themselves if they are able...something to keep them busy.It would give all of them someplace to live indoors at least.This street begging/tents on sidewalks thing is Un-American.Just my 2 cents

I don't invest in any cold-weather climate so things like sidewalk snow shoveling may be different.

A better example is grading a sidewalk up to the porch in lieu of 1-2 steps (see below).

You will also likely need street/sidewalk closure permits at different points in the jobUtility Taps- Water, Sprinkler, Sewer, Power, Gas, Cable (this is likely negligible as the cable company should do it for you)Excavation/Foundation- Are there buildings on either side?

Fifteen minutes before the showing he texts me a picture of a crumpled up piece of plastic that he found on the sidewalk.

While we have not had anything this dramatic we have had cleanouts leak sewage onto city sidewalks that was caused by the city digging up the street but they still made us responsible.
