At another property with just the sidewalk I let the tenants take care of it, but the liability of these steep stairs makes it too important for it to be haphazard or me having to scold them to shovel and salt the walk and steps.I know in snowy areas people with houses contract plowing for the winter at a flat rate.

But it wasn't just the video game, he had 3 or 4 monitors, 180 degree view, a steering wheel, pedals, an 18 gear shifter, you name it.

This generated $2M+ in equity, and thus is highly lucrative, but takes 2-3 years.Note worthy: I am located in California, but I did this project in Canada.

Hey Nicholas,If you’re looking at Section 8 investing in Ohio, I’d definitely encourage you to take a look at Detroit as well.

Does anyone take this info into consideration when looking at a rental market or is such analysis unnecessary?

bad tenants need to be strictly held to the lease or the will try to take advantage of landlord softness. 

I would be taking equity out of the property to build.

The owner representative (not an agent, just family) seems to not be a fan of this option because he does not understand it.Option 2: If option 1 does not work, or they are unwilling, the offer I see as valid for this property to make sense is about $290K plus taking over the solar loan.

I am not a big fan and it sounds desperate, not to mention takes away from the purpose of what BP is.

Hello Mike, It is nearly impossible to answer this question without taking a deep dive on the numbers of each but often times in expensive markets like Seattle the cost of construction is so high that it doesn't make sense to tear it down unless you can build something way bigger/nicer.
