Even though my standard MG leases have a CAM provision that include base year taxes/insurance and tenants pay increases as well as maintenance, landscaping, etc., I actually strike this out!  

That will layout the whole landscape for you so you can decide what interests you and where you want to get started digging deeper.Then start listening the the BiggerPockets podcast with @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner.  

A landscaper?

It's just more up to date as far as finishes, landscaping, etc.Thanks

Then, divide that amount by months and by units to get a monthly amount to set aside in a separate account at your bank so you don't spend it.Do this same calculation for things like paint/siding, landscaping, parking lots, walkways, AC units, water heaters, boilers, chillers, signage, etc.

I am still in the intense start-up/expansion phase with my business and this year plan to build-up my teams in TN and TX and purchase 5-10 additional properties. 

There are new homes going up all around, major highway road expansion just on the horizon, in addition to the Walsh Ranch being built just down the road. 

Can you paint, do landscaping, teach exercise classes, or painting?

Yes, dues and assessment can eat up your cash flow, but you also (again, in a good association) are getting something in exchange for the dues dollars such as management, insurance, Cap ex, all exterior maintenance and repair, landscape/snow, common area care, etc...
