Snow could ruin them.

Had too many ripped ruined and burned to do that,,,plus it is slick with snow on your feet.

None of mine are in snow country so I don't have winter problems and related repairs.

@Melanie StephensBuying a deal in the snow belt with negative migration and boarded up properties on the same street despite rosy talk from all the real estate agents on BP from the same market regarding great cash flow etc.It doesn’t matter what the BP calculator or your own spreadsheet says about the deal.YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.

That is why mailers have a snow ball affect.

I don't have the outside picture, with all the snow I just wanted to run inside the house.

In my area it's not possible to hire a professional who would come and cleanup whenever it snows for a flat yearly fee, I usually hire someone randomly on a ad hoc basis and it always gets stressful especially when there is heavy snow and i just end up scurrying to find snow cleaners during a snow storm.I will be moving OOS soon due to my job reasons so I am planning to manage my home  remotely at least for the first year and then decide to either sell or hire s PM if needed , however it will be impossible for me to share any snow cleaning responsibilities with my tenants so I am at a loss on how to handle snow cleaning so I just wanted to know if it's okay to shift some or all of the snow cleaning responsibilities to tenants?

In exchange, the guy in this unit acts a caretaker and general handyman for the property, and does tasks like lawn care, snow removal, and basic repair work.Am I able to deduct this $300 from my taxes as a business expense?  

He does all the work necessary at all my properties including snow removal and lawn care.

I guess we're both in the BP freshman class ;-)Stay warm & dry in this snow!
