We try to ensure the salt is applied enough to keep down dangerous/slippery ice and to keep the snow melted, but we don't want to go overkill having a "zero tolerance" ice policy like hospitals have, we just want to keep snow and ice down to an acceptable and safe level, without going over-budget.For some of our buildings where salt seems to be really deteriorating surfaces (mainly building sidewalks and masonry stairs) we thought about using a different product (either calcium chloride or magnesium chloride) however while they are less damaging than pure salt, they are also more expensive (something we are trying to avoid).What do you other landlords do that have midsize (10+ unit) buildings? 

So I suppose with that realization, I need to accept that doing another cash out and opting for a 30 year mortgage (thus more affordable payments) is the right direction to go.

I just had my first offer accepted (a multifamily in Albany to house hack!)

I offered no inspection contingency and that was enough for the seller to accept.

Did some real halfway work and made me start looking elsewhere.The town did not accept the hardship to convert a commercial unit to a residential unit.

He wanted 30k, we offered 12.5k, they accepted.

I just got an acceptance on our offer for $107k and seller to cover closing cost on a 3 bed 1.5 bath.

I am pretty sure I am going to accept the offer.

If deal number 1 is the hardest, I accept the challenge! 

Since they do not require accreditation and can accept non accredited investors.I fully expect the Feds to eventually raid 401(k)s if the eventual debt crisis gets bad enough.
