The HOA manages only the common areas: signs at the entrances to the subdivision, the retention pond and couple of fences.Other HOAs seem to model the Gestapo and the fees are outlandishly high.David J Dachtera"Success is not a destination.

If the pathway, entrance/exit and/or driveway is shared the landlord is responsible for the snow removal.

@Heather O.Looking at the pic, there is a significant culvert and likely a drainpipe under the entrance.

I'm currently thinking about a townhouse or single-family home (With its separate entrance) in this area to house hack and rents room out but at the same time having a little bit of own privacy.

It was stated, not much is going to change besides entrance size, removable cabinets, countertops, etc.

It is 3 bed 1.5 bath upstairs and 3 bed 1 bath downstairs with a kitchen and separate entrance.

They will coordinate with a title officer to get the survey and change the tax numbers; with a contractor to adapt the entrances or meet current codes; with everything to be seen on paper for approval.Location is what is going to determine your process steps.

A couple amongst the top 5 trends: Turning bathrooms into a spa and creating an enticing entrance (front door, front porch decor).

Hi @Chris Baxter, I suppose this is when investors have to get creative in creating new streams of income, i.e. laneway house, walk-out/separate entrance basement, garage rental, etc.It would be interesting to see the spreadsheets for investors these days buying $1M+ properties...are people buying into the appreciations so much that they are willing to take negative cash flow? 

Seems it has to be in place prior to closing, so I considered it an entrance cost...any opinions?
