Were the repairs specific to the property itself (pavement, landscape, a private website,...) or were they more unit-specific (sealing concrete blocks, replacing doors,...)Would you do this strategy again, flipping Storage to afford Apartments?

Will this be resolved if I bring in a landscaper to slope the ground outward?
