Not sure if this applies to you but if you are planning on building lots of units it could be a natural fit. 

We wouldn't even offer to clean this up as lawn maintenance is 100% on tenant unless an act of nature causes damage.Review your lease and make sure this is covered for future unrealistic tenants!

Some people are allergic to rabbit hair so I would need to get the air ducts and entire house deep cleaned if the tenant moves out. 

Otherwise it is nature and misquotoes , ticks, bees and spiders live outside. 

I'm naturally a nice person so its not that hard for me.

We do have access to a HELOC on the property which we leveraged to purchase our current primary residence (balance borrowed has been fully repaid at this point) but we would rather not pull that lever to roll into a new property given current interest rates and the adjustable nature of the HELOC. 

People are doing it, so presumably it works.FWIW, I invested in Japan for a few years, but lack of rent growth, lack of appreciation, concerns about natural disasters, and just general lack of confidence in the J market led me to shift focus only to the US.

It's also in our nature to want to help.

Potential homeowners and renters are now prioritizing locations that offer better air quality and are less susceptible to natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, and droughts. 

Syndications are naturally a higher risk asset class so you should be getting rewarded for taking that risk by getting more return than the stock market.
