If renting it you’ll need a good property manager and someone to take care of lawn & snow.

Moreover, do not factor appreciation from 2020 to 2022, those stats are extreme outliers caused by artificially low rates and cheap debt. 

I am guessing interest and taxes I am probably barely positive before snow removal, lawn care maintenance, capex and vacancy. negative 300/mo or more afterwards.

To have a good looking sign, lawn care, tree trimmed, and what else from a cosmetic perspective?

If anything, they artificially hold their currency down so they get a favorable trade advantage from us.  

Same for existing Lawn mowers, furniture, etc.

MLS pictures don't show the busy noisy street, neighbors overgrown lawn, beat up cars or the factory right next to the neighborhood. 

You may have to have a cleaner go in there once every three months or so and the lawn will be on you.

What you can enforce is conduct under the influence or just plain conduct, can't be loud, can't throw up on the lawn or carpet......it's not the amount of beer it's the conduct you need to curb.College kids are young adults, still learning, instead of commanding them, lead them, give them room to live just like yourself, let them know when they get out of line.I found the best teaching tool was in their pocket, money, I had a fine system that became part of the rent due, if unpaid they defaulted on paying rent, that means leave.

Yes there are some, but there is still a lot to grab.We have an artificial tree we put up and decorate, lots of garlands, signs etc.
