Hello, Wondering if anyone knows of a good company in the SW suburbs for snow removal still taking on properties? 

But given I've paid for snow removal like once ever, I don't know what I should offer someone who is not a "pro" and already has an idea of their rate. 

They hold your money, spend it without your permission and you have to call and email incessantly to get a release of your monthly draw.

Quote from @Jamie Banks: Here's a few things I include in my MTR lease- Utility caps- Outline of the furniture that is included- Details regarding which utilities are included- Outline who is responsible for lawn care / snow removal- List of fees (admin fee, cleaning fee, etc) Hi Jamie! 

Additonally house tenants take care of lawn maintenance and snow removal, and pay all utilitites. 

And who is taking care of the landscaping/snow removal? 

Especially with the way the holidays fell and at least for us some pretty heavy snow storms.I try my best to have leases end between April and October.

• Should utilities, internet, or services like snow removal/lawn care be included, or not?

Though I have purchased some with a mix where 330+ days a year, people parked in the driveway and the street except when there were snow bans, but there was enough room to fit everyone in the driveway/parking lot, and that was a hassle to deal with some days. 

Focus on areas with strong rental demand, like Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, or near universities like Butler and IUPUI.Maintenance Costs: Indiana weather can be tough on properties, so budget for seasonal maintenance like snow removal and HVAC servicing.Additional AdviceKeep an Emergency Fund: Unexpected repairs or vacancies can arise, so having 3-6 months of expenses saved will help you weather any surprises.Build a Reliable Team: I have lists of contractors, handymen, cleaners and property managers if you'd like me to send.Good luck with your property and future expansion!
