Great project managers maintain the 3 constraints regardless of the construction process, and have their goals aligned with the owners; changes to the constraints are not of benefit to the project manager- keeping the project on schedule, within budget, and minimizing scope creep is of benefit!

There are plenty of people the maintain a full time job and do REI.

We maintain a good relationship with that neighbor and show our gratitude every year by giving them gift certificates to their favorite restaurant.

If I'm going to own and maintain a property for a long time, then I want to take ownership of solving any problems with it.

I want the lawn/landscaping clean and well maintained, I want to attract good tenants who keep the place clean etc.  

His goal is that the properties are maintained well since they touch the funeral home.

@Bill NolanAssuming you can manage and maintain the home cost effectively, meaning keeping it occupied, collect rents, and doing the repairs then your plan could work.

I've thought about pocket neighborhoods with smaller houses though not tiny homes, and lots, where people can still maintain their independence but have less maintenance, and close proximity to neighbors, etc.

So is this house simply allowed to maintain 2 legal units and also allowed to do major renovations to both units simply because it is “grandfathered in” - since it’s deemed a 2 dwelling property because of its 2-11 property code, is that it?

They own and maintain the equipment and collect the money.
