One tip I would add is to only use a 6 month lease terms unless your market is stagnant or your property class is poor so a the turn over would be very expensive.In downtown Dallas I own a 4plex that the seller had just signed a 2 year lease on one of the units before I bought.

Since i live in my 4 unit i do all the landscaping and snow shoveling myself.I will be out of town for two weeks at the end of March and with the way the weather is going we might still have snow around then.

Our builder didn't include permits, excavation or landscaping.

If you're in Mountain View or the general bay area and have tips or do this work yourself and need someone to dial for dollars. 

Any tips or pointers on that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for any tips!
