We avoid the states with long and expensive foreclsoures like NY and all the NE states and focus on the non judicial states with no snow, and I say typically, as we just picked up a historic property in Ohio City, and they live next door.

Anyone have any good recommendations for a snow plower/ shoveler for my 4 unit apt in Biddeford, Maine?

@Bridget McDonald  yes there are a lot of 55+ Communities in Clearwater and a good majority of the residents are snow birds.

I would include clear language in the lease that states their responsibility for the lawn & snow.

Don’t forget, some properties need lawn care, or snow removal, or insurance is more than double, or the house is brand new, or it’s 120 years old.

It snows there....who is paying for snow removal.8.

How about snow removal / landscaping?

Dont have to deal with snow either. 

It is a pre-manufactured, and much "beefier" (Lower left photo) support system designed to provide additional vertical and horizontal resistance in wind, snow, and seismic zones for which the design criteria has been pre-approved and stamped by an engineer.

After you do the math of vacancy, capex, maintenance, management, trash, water, lawn care, snow removal, taxes etc. you might actually be closer to breaking even than you think.Simple math would say $4,000 minus 10% Capex ($400), 5% maintenance ($200), 5% vacancy ($200), although I like to use 8% for 1 month. 10% management ($400) and potentially a couple hundred more on the other things = $2800 roughly.
