You also posted stating that "If people manicured the lawns more, it would be a B".

But if you have a mean neighbor or a guest throws a beer can on someone elses lawn then your operation could get shut down and they will fine you.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I have a property maintenance& lawn care  company. wanting to get started in rentals and maybe some flips. thanks,kyle

That include things like utilities and lawn care. 

Cut the lawn.

I used to mow the lawn at the property when I was in college and have been talking to the owner about selling but I need to make sure it cash flows if your interested for next year

Just trying to be a good citizen and a kind person...Also they have been somewhat high impact renters and have even driven on the lawn and over my new sprinkler heads.
