There is no way I can mow lawns, repair/replace appliances,  and collect rent in person from afar.

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.

I know a lady in South Bend Indiana that has a company that not only cleans up and changes locks but maintains the lawn and checks on the property regularly.

This area does not need some artificial impetus like a "pandemic" to prop its prices up.

Similar situation happening to me in Birmingham, AL. basically quoting 6,000 for a variety of things that end up being sheetrock repair in 3 places, paint the entire house, remove garbage and mow the lawn.

Originally posted by Account Closed:@Hank Wu If you treat your tenants well and don't ask the tenants to mow the lawn, water the lawn, trim the plants, which is the landlord's responsibility and your tenants will stay a long time. 

In my area there is a home where the lawn is completely dead and bare.

Look for houses that have the appearance of being distressed (unkept lawns, fading paint, cracks in the brink, roof issues, etc.).  

Even mowing lawns for an investor with a number of properties could be a good start.

@john skaggs thats for the response, but i will we taking care of the Property Management and the tenets will be paying all the unities, as far as maintenance and lawn care I will do it or have a tenet to it. also no points on mortgage.
