Florida I know, no issues with freezing pipes, snow, roof and as long as I have insurance, hurricanes are not a big issue.

I was born and raised in the City and learned about investing techniques when I was in my 20's, now 73 still going strong and doing bigger and more profitable transactions.

Credit scores in low 600's now but on their way back up after regrouping.We just don't have the savings/capital to make all of this to happen, personally.  

 $100/month isn't going to cover lawn care and snow removal IN ADDITION to leaky facets and other small repairs.There is no PM support here.  

Signed,Beaten down and lost10 of those pays your basic expenses15 of those replaces your current incomeWhat ever you make in RE can go directly to your savings/investments so it starts to snow ball if you keep working.I'm not stopping till I have 1000 doors with no debt.

But as soon as you gain experience through life's ups and downs and get to the point where money isn't a problem anymore, you will get tired of the police calling you at 3:00 am because some dude decided to beat the crap out of his wife and threw her out in the snow and the cops want you to come down and open the door for them so they don't have to kick it in.

Is tenant responsible for landscaping and/or snow removal?

I am in the warm banana belt here...snow changing to rain today..

Right now I'm securing 3 lots with my own cash for Architectural review to build right after the snow melt next year.
