Right, I understand the goal is to limit liability.  

That newer asphalt, or when it is resealed or newly striped, looks pretty sharp (but then you have some costs and maintenance), but I am not sure the attractive lot would bring much more in rent nor would gravel drive off good tenants.Finally, I shovel snow with the body sled type shovels and it would knock me out without a smooth surface underneath like asphalt or cement, so with gravel maybe check how that would work with your snow removal system (be it shovel, snowblower, or plow truck)...probably gravel best fit for plow truck...Best of luck

We just BARELY managed to fit the shower unit down the stairs, it took some major shoves to flex through. 

This is only the beginning, I have plans and bigger goals  

However, we dont plan to be doing this very long, as we both have it as our goal to become "Early Retired".

I'm 18 and my goal is to own 10 units by 26 years old.

It really comes down to what do you want , why do you want it, what are your goals, and what is your plan to get there. 

Hey Everyone, Just getting started into real estate and my long term goal is to have rental properties that generate cashflow.

Can you narrow down on some goals, your situation, give us some context for what capacity you have.

Easy answer is to have your own set of criteria that makes a house a viable candidate, and some alternate relationships to direct those that don't fit your needs.
