I live in Houston where this setup seems relatively common but am not sure if that comes with tenant issues around a shared yard, etc.Thanks!!

Very common for the lockout policy to be outlined in the lease.

Commonly, not always. 

It is a small urban town so crime in urban areas is common but I'm not afraid to walk around. 

Not impossible, but far from common. 

The property is in a foreign country (EU member) that does not seem to offer the kind of cost segregation studies that are common in the US.

They are not wanting these on Loopnet, but I think I am going to just try to get them to allow me to post there at least as that seems to be the common thread.

It’s very common.
