Though, yes it's not a guarantee people won't live there and squat illegally. 

I have seen a few scary things like "you need to dig up the entire front yard" in other groups but I'd like to hear from people that are actively investing in the city, and meeting the new standards, as to what their experience has been.

Some people prefer it, and others like me just try to avoid it.

You could always ask the Termador people what they think about that question.Good Luck!

In this environment how are people doing the deals?

Welcome to BP Chabeli,These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

For what it's worth, some ideas I've seen pitched are grocery bundles (e.g. a breakfast bundle for 2-4 people with eggs, bacon, bagels, cream cheese, and OJ all pre-stocked in the fridge), meal kits, a pre-stocked drink fridge, charcuterie boards, premium coffee selection, bike/e-bike/scooter/kayak/canoe rentals, video game consoles, upgraded work-from-home office amenities (e.g. oversized computer monitor), etc.I'm not a lawyer, but cocktail kits, bottles of wine, local craft beer, and other alcoholic items seem like they would fall into a grey area from liability perspective. 

This older home has older ceiling fans in the bedrooms.I'm planning to replace all the fans with LED light but wanted to hear peoples experiences on this.My thoughts are, ceiling fans are another object in a rental that break a lot, they get dusty and gross, and these don't provide much light to the rooms.

Thanks for Sharing @Garfield M. so many people still have no idea the map is still in effect.

I respect that you are doing it with kids, too many people use that as an excuse.
