#The House:Bought House for 455K, put in about 80K over the past few years, house is now valued at 600K.Rental should yield about 3K a month or 36K a year, and expenses for everything should be about 26K a year including all indoor, outdoor maintenance and mortgage payments. 

So we then  painted the whole joint, repaired the rotted fascias, replaced the ancient AC/heater, new pool pump equipment, new concrete driveway to replace the crumbling asphalt, new landscape, updated bathrooms (resurfaced shower, nice, new cabinets/sinks, but off Craigslist), more new flooring extended throughout the entire house... even some upgraded pool furniture and a nice BBQ outdoor kitchen as we were told we are in a high end area that requires these types of amenities. 

I suggest you consider enclosing the outdoor staircase with exterior storage under the steps.

The Ogden BDO is now a huge place for outdoor industry business.

I'm an 28 YO engineer, and I'm really into fitness, outdoor activities, and technology. 

Hi there,Four unit building: Two tenants have complained about seeing rats/mice in our outdoor area where the trash is kept.

I also consider the micro markets where these properties are located, and see if the overall favorable trends of the MSA are in play in those areas.I also want to like the cultural and outdoor opportunities in the city, as it is one I want to visit and I believe will draw people to want to live in the future.There's more, but that gives you a start.

Despite only working the residential side of things so far, I have been trying to educate myself on all matters commercial as well, and at least be familiar with terminology and the differences etc...So to my questions really, I recently met with a gentleman who I talked with (a commercial builder and investor) who said he has designed and built several mini storage facilities (primarily outdoor space).

I reckon that if you want to be a commercial player, you need to go outdoors, to meet and greet commercial people!

I have marketed in the local paper, outdoor advertisement, Facebook, craigslist, called local schools, offered discounts, and have 3 large signs on building.
