If the municipality in your market recycles food and yard waste it might be worth training the tenants to do that, in many markets on the west coast it's seen as being 'green' which is getting to be a marketing advantage now.

There is a very fine line and if you cross it and he decides not to pay taxes, you could be on the hook for them.

But just remember that people justify the emotional decision with logic - not the otherway round.You could also incorporate some "green" technologies in your rehab to get the attention of the eco-crowd.

Before the previous landlord had odds and ends maintenance people doing it when they get around to it.I don't like this because sometimes the property looks good and other times junkie and unkept.A professional service is more dependable and runs like clock work.I had a lawn company come out that was not the biggest but not the smallest operation.There are 5 buildings of flat land situated each on about 1/2 acre to 3/4 acre.The lawn guy quoted 200 a month but wanted a year round contract.I don't like that as mainly most get yard work completed in the summer time.In the winter time and fall is mainly just leaf blowing etc.Even though these are 1/2 acre in size I feel that the work is minimal.Unlike a house where sometimes the land is hilly these are flat.Unlike a house which is mainly yard with a small driveway these building have a driveway with a parking lot.So the actual green space to mow is very small for each parcel.I just can't in my mind justify 2,400 a year for lawn maintenance.Wondering what others here do.I can't do it myself as I am very busy working with clients.For this one month I am having a contractor do it for cheap but not long term.

Lee Common,True but my great aunt crossed the united states in a wagon train... and I met her... and I'm only 58.

The tiles could then be marketed as "green".

I have to say this is the one good thing that has come out of the "green" movement.

im green and ready to learn anything and everything!

I Was 24 and put down almost all my life savings at the time lolWhile I didn't have an answer I just thought I would cross that bridge if and when I got to it.
