There is a tree on the property that I want to take a picture of to show to some landscapers to get an estimate to fell it, but I am not sure if I also have to give notice to enter the yard and take pics of said tree.Also, the second unit should be vacating sooner than the the other unit and I wanted to know if I had to give the remaining tenants notice every time I stop by to look at this second unit and do repairs on it and have contractors look at it, or can i show up anytime I want so long as I am going to the vacant unit and not bugging the tenants about entering their unit which i wont, I will always give them notice if i need to enter their unit for any reason.I would also like to know where i can get a Lease that protects me as a landlord?

Landscaping and laundry are two easy examples.Separating garage and other storage or parking space from the main rental contract, so it’s an additional monthly fee, can also boost your income from renters.Another opportunity is property investments that add value to the holding, and thus increase the rental income tenants are prepared to offer.

We immediately got our landscape contractor to work clearing this jungle of trees and vegetation.

Landscape needs help and next door has a vacant house (needs to be demolished).He’s offering this for 27,000$.

In addition for SFR is a sprinkler system a smart buy to protect lawn/landscaping investment or is that a luxury item and something prone to maintenance hassles and $?

They have been working really hard to coordinate all the work that has been going to to fix everything though, so I appreciate that.I've done light rehab from out of state before (paint, carpet, landscaping, that sort of thing) with no issue, but this was my first major project. 

I would also include any exterior maintenance, unless you plan on doing that yourself (landscaping/mowing and snow removal).I would highly recommend starting with a fourplex, as they tend to pencil out much better in our market.

The place was trashed and required paint, flooring, appliances, cabinets, landscaping, and some roof and AC work.

New flooring throughout, new paint in and out, cleared all the trash and a ton of brush from the yard, new appliances, landscaping, etc.

I think the best approach is too find a landscaper who also plows.
