If it's light rehab (paint, paper, minor stuff) then you probably don't even need to pull permits.As far as if it's too big...

all my tenants pay their heat, electric, gas and each is responsible for a light bulb outside of their door in the hall and first floor maintains a light outside his door and in the front of the building.....so I don't have an electric bill

The rent #'s seem light and I might invest in properties at a higher rental rate or increase rents significantly.

No.Patios/Sidewalks/Site Conditions/Minor-Landscaping?

We are in no rush and want to make sure we have everything in line before jumping to far in.Theres a little bit about me and a light outline on my plan.

Figure out either an internet business(either dropshipping, ebaying, affiliate marketing, content creation(writing, reviews, videos, etc)(dude, start a blog now, put content on it, you put your story here, you can put it on your blog and eventually it will rank, even more as you progress your life improvement strategies))    ------    or start a super low overhead service business to start and run(think mobile/stationary car wash&detailing, cleaning service, maybe high demand time uber driving etc), or one possibly related somehow to real estate (if that is your interest)- like Landscaping(not maintenance-due to high equipment costs).

Leaving lights and things like that running all night and day for no reason. 

10K in cash is probably a little light. 

(some light managing).

For example; your landscapers to a $501.00 project, the company is an LLC landscape Co.
