If you install salt system and automatic cleaning your maintenance will be fairly low.

Any special rules for landlords in winter time in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois like ashing walkways or puting salt on those?

The snow i bought them alot of salt and a good hand shovel and told them its in their lease.  

Hello all, I'm considering buying some property in the Salt Lake City metro area and renting it at least part time as a VRBO/AirBNB.

I do a lot of work in the Salt Lake City/Davis County Area/ Summit Counties but have also done projects across the country.

Tenants will buy salt for it.

Take it with a grain of salt, it is what it is, keep doing good deals and it really wont matter.

Newbie in the Salt Lake Valley, any suggestions on how to get started?

I am currently a realtor in Utah looking to partner up with others to invest in real estate in the Salt Lake County and the Park City areas.

(In general, I recommend NOT including the rent you're not getting as if you were getting it).And of course I don't know the market there, or its appeal to $400k+ buyers, so you can take my comments with as many grains of salt as you like.
