You will also have ongoing maintenance: weed spraying, grading the gravel parking lot (or a set aside for future repaving the parking lots), lawn mowing, snow plowing, door maintenance.  

@Andrew Romick Hey I don't have much experience in MTRs in Richmond, VA specifically but pretty familiar with it here in Utah (Salt lake & Utah County / St.

If you treat for termites, then, it is a closed case, like Tracy D. indicated.Can they provide the termite treatment (bates, spray) now and let it be? 

You will have an issue with the smoke smell (we typically just spray all the studs with a Home Depot product).

@Rosaria PipitoneI’m new so take my comment with that grain of salt.

Local networking is key to success in this biz so I would recommend some of the real estate lunches and meet-ups in the Salt Lake area.

I negotiated with the exterminator to include standard spraying of the exterior for pest as well as the bed bug treatment for the entire complex.I also advised my tenants roommate on throwing his mattress out since these bugs were isolated to his room.I have not had a problem since.

Legally snow removal, maintenance, making sure entryway, stairs, sidewalk are salted and ice-free is landlord's responsibility. 

I'm an active investor in Salt Lake City (I do a few deals each month here) but I'm looking to build my network in the Louisville.

Yes, I purchased overalls, spray myself down with repellent, etc.
