Andy You don't need to notify the tenants for common areas provided there is no expectation of privacy in those areas, however as another posted, you may still piss someone off so the best practice is to send a message that you will be doing common maintenance work.

The benefit is that, in some cases, you use your cryptocurrencies as collateral, so you don't have to sell them and pay capital gains tax.

-Privacy fence-Curb appeal with mailbox garden, 12ft maple tree in the backyard-Installed laminate flooring in the bedrooms What was the outcome?

I for one would be turned off if my landlord kept usage of part of the garage....there goes my privacy....

It was a pretty small claim for wind damage to the privacy fencing around the property.  

I have built in Acres homes but am now focussing on Independence Heights for long term appreciation.

Although it was in good condition, we earmarked some funds for further improvements, including repaving the driveway, installing a new privacy fence, and making select upgrades and repairs inside the units.One of the standout features of this property is its prime location near the vibrant downtown area of Bryan, with easy access to restaurants and shopping, which added considerable value to our investment thesis.Initially, our plan was to utilize the duplex for Airbnb rentals.

I think a duplex is a great way to help you qualify for a loan and allow you to rent out the other unit and still give you privacy.

As for privacy, with the right property, you can easily put up fences, hedges, etc that make each unit more like any other neighbor than a roommate.

You essentially have to live there (how they enforce this without invading privacy is anyone's guess?)
