I just spread base rock....ground is hard and if any weeds come up, the gardener just sprays them.  

Scott, floorings laminate I believe from Home Depot. 

A sprinkler in the garden was broken and shooting straight up into the attic for at least 4 months mold was on the drywall in a small part of the wall.

@Lor Fara buy the materials needed at places you want, like Home Depot. 

(Although, you do get a discount on gardening, maintenance, etc)That said, run the numbers.

I was a renter for about 9 years I lived in the Napa Valley and commuted to Portland for my Timber/land business.I spent 9 nights a month in my Portland/Beaverton apartment  I liked not having to pack clothes so the apartment was a better fit for me than going in and out of a motel / hotel all the time and pre air bnb. so these were larger garden apartments 200 to 300 units corporate owned..

However, I'm currently trying out Zillow Leases as it has online signings—a significant drawback to Law Depot. 

Animals are multiplying, 1/2 acre of gardens are (were) growing before the sun camped over Texas this Summer. 

Took the Covid stimmys with some earned income and after many many MANY trips to Home Depot the house had new plumbing, a new bathroom, new heating, new carpets, a new front porch and I became a jack of all trades.

A 100-house SF portfolio in the same neighborhood has a few very different but extremely important differences in its underwriting and operating fundamentals than a 100 unit sky-rise or garden-style MF, for instance.
