More details on my personal approach from syndicatio standpoint is in my article: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/10850/75569-care-for-your-investors-like-mom-cares-for-you

Also, I'd make sure to cut the yard down before closing just to make sure the overgrowth is not covering up something.

Also I invest out of state so I like knowing everything outside of the unit is taken care of and the tenant doesn't have to deal with landscaping or watering.  

Be careful when people tell you that it's not possible.

@JD Martin that makes sense and these folks had owned a home previously and from what i've seen have taken pretty immaculate care of my home. 

The guy who now can't find anyone to drive around with Uber or the girl not able to AirBnB her place will probably cut virtually all expenses, such that soon you have everyone without a nickel, asking everyone for a nickel. 

I personally want to see that people are taking care of the properties.

These expenses are including, utilities if you pay for them, maintenance, yard care, pest control, insurance, advertising, property manager etc etc.these often come up to well over $3000 per door - depending on the market..$750. sounds to low for all expenses.

I used to manage the office for a tree care company and we fell under that same umbrella.I would also talk to the tenants and find out what their typical schedule is and, to an extent, work out a reasonable schedule. 

Shouldn't the landlord take care of this?
