Hi everyone  my name is Kerry Thomas I'm a civil engineering inspector by trade  I enjoy the outdoors all sporting activities  especially when my children are involved  and I'm looking forward to a prosperous and a happy life  and Believe real estate is the key  to my success and everyone success  I hope I can be of assistance or help to you all  I love people  and desire to serve them .

Now where the trend in site built is to expand the house and shrink the lot - so that outdoor space is all but gone and what there is is never used because it has no privacy, offsite presents the great opportunity to include large, pleasant, private garden like courtyards situated between each  home.      

If you like the outdoors you just can't beat it.  

Outdoors we had concrete mow strips, stamped concrete borders on the driveways, etc. again standard.

I once had something similar and that turned out to be a blockage on the air intake, windy day where a plastic grocery bag got sucked into the intake pipe just enough to completely block the pipe opening outdoors.

rents = 750Gross yearly = 54000-10% PM-10% Capital Reserves : This is needed for capital items like roof, HVAC etc-10% Vacancy Reserves : if you're not using this, you're not a real estate investor IMO-5% Repair : This is all the small stuff that wears out, door knobs, locks, paint...- taxes (-4,300), what is the current assessment?

Seller to maintain the property but selling "as is" some conflict there` as worded, if an outdoor faucet blows a washer and water starts running out, the seller doesn't fix it?

The condos in FL have the added benefits of amenities that the SFRs don't have, and that tenants want in that area - pools, tennis courts, fitness centers, jogging trails, bike paths, car wash areas, outdoor BBQ's, water views.

The one small exception I have is that in my lease I set the expectation that an assigned parking spot (outdoor, uncovered, unpaved) is the tenant's responsibility to maintain so they should shovel, rake, and trim plants.

For some outdoor lighting, I have solar ones which never use line electricity and work if the power is on or off.
