There's salt there still (if it gets low let me know)and if that shovel breaks or sucks let me know!

IE Shoveling sidewalk in winter.

Don’t you have your success and money to shovel?

So lets say we sell a new spec for 500k  NO way are we making almost half in net profit.. 500k house is about 2200 sq ft  build cost  120 a foot or 280k that would only leave 40k for a shovel ready lot.. and shovel ready lots are 100 to 140k in our market for 500k exits Also you have cost of capital you have tax's utls insurance and marketing costs ( real estate commissions) .. 

Older properties are cheap for a reason.Believe me, I'm really not a fan of crawling around under a house so low that I have to take a fold up shovel with me to dig paths under the floor joists.

You could if you wanted to offer to supply the tools(rake and shovel and some bags) for your new tenant to clean it themselves if it is important to them.My grandfather used to say" don't grow thirsty trees", meaning, set the standard early or they will expect you to provide this as an ongoing thing.....

I now have a "go to" for MOST areas (roofing is still a little gray and I can't find anyone to take on a certain plowing / shoveling job) but outside that, I'm covered, and ANYTIME in the past I've felt stressed, it's BECAUSE I didn't have a system and go to guy for a particular problem.

When I saw my next door neighbors a few months later they raved about how nice it was living next to the new family, how the son shoveled the snow off the common walkway each morning, that they kept the yard nice, etc. 

Put the shovel down my guy. 

But now, I'M at fault for not realizing there was significant mold damage in the foundation.I have spent too much time thinking about this, but if we want to keep digging, pass me a shovel.
