My company contracts out most of our maintenance- the people we write the most checks to are; handymen, landscapers and companies who perform drive by and mid lease inspections as well as process servers.

Things that drive the ARV the most - roof, plumbing, flooring, paintThings that don’t drive ARV as much - windows, landscaping, driveway

It'll be at South Maui Gardens at 8am, you'll see a bunch of us down there.

The other lot is empty with terraced gardens and has mountain views. 

Gas station employees, mechanics, landscapers, and many others work in close proximity to petroleum products on a daily basis for decades and they don't experience health issues as long as they observe basic safety measures like washing their hands.

Spell out in the lease the cost for a gardener is $300 and snow removal $200 a pop if she fails to maintain you go to full service and lease increases.

@Seth WilliamsIt’s just something else that tenants will be calling about on a Sunday evenIng -“my shower is broke ..there is no pressure and o think it’s clogged up “ That or they will smack the head with a hammer or unscrew the head oFF and let water dump out if the pipe like a garden hose effect .

Especially if I was only leasing out the land, the tenant would be responsible for al, landscaping/tree maintenance.  

My strategy is to invest in rental properties for cash flow and consider flipping opportunities when appropriate.As a beginner, I'm seeking guidance from experienced investors who can help me navigate the landscape and avoid common mistakes.

most work is flooring, remediating the basement, paint and updating one bathroom along with siding repairs/likely window replacement and massive landscaping and  concrete work I like doing.
