One of those thing was – re-sod the entire lawn.

Hi Shaun, I believe we met at Boston ARIEA last year.After all expenses (including lawn care, snow removal, etc.) and setting aside for $2,000 in maintenance/upgrades/repairs and 8% vacancy (which is very unlikely here) I'm getting $275 per door per month after taxes on one and $320 on the other.

I do use one of them and have found that the best selection has nothing to do with finding a tenant (very important), but maintaining the relationship with the tenant after they move in (rent, late fees, notices, maintenance, messaging, calendar reminders to check the A/C filter, depreciation tracker. lawn mowing contractors, full payments to service pros and you get the idea) is what a solution really needs to do.  

I currently own a lawn care company and will be starting a paint company with my cousin and figured being an agent could help with those businesses as well.  

@Bryant Clark I don't know the exact area where you are considering this purchase, but I have seen some investors in pretty rough Denver neighborhoods take 3/4 bedroom units in multi-family buildings, perform a light renovation, and then rent out only to section 8 tenants - because this makes the numbers artificially high -and extremely attractive to the next investor. 

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.

Don't forget about maintenance, lawn care, snow, garbage, utilities, water, etc. 

I want to cash out at the age of 115 and use the cash to buy artificial organs to live forever, lol.

Then there won't be sod available for the lawns when you need it, the gardeners will disappear because someone yells "ice" and it's just someone that is hot and wants some ice but the gardeners think they mean something else.
