I’ve been taking my daughter to King’s Beach and/or Incline Village the last few winters whenever there’s a nice snow storm. 

@Adam Snow Hi Adam, so sorry for the late response but that sounds great!  

The resident takes care of everything, including garbage, snow and lawn, there are no common areas to clean and they usually stay for many years.What we have done systematically over the last years is 1031 exchanged properties in lower-quality neighborhoods into higher-priced suburbs.

A common example of a CAM charge is snow removal and salting for a shared parking lot.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of sweet talker contractors that persuade me that they have indeed: cleaned snow, mowed lawn, completed painting the house, removed garbage or any debris, or similar, but they do not send me the pictures as a proof.Of course all of them ask money in advance, and even though I try to send payments only after the work is done, it's not always possible.My question is, how do you fight those situations?

It’s all about setting boundaries early.Careful with Tenant Responsibilities Like Gardening/Snow Removal:I’ve had tenants handle lawn care, but even that can be hit or miss.

Two of the rentals are located in the mountains where it snows and have large decks, they are very high maintenance so I’d like to get out of those if possible.In the three SoCal houses total I’m now looking at 703k equity (Split among the houses- 162k, 204k and 336k).

Your calculations should include utililies and repairs, legals, snow removal, etc.

I have a couple of questions for you below:1)  Are you responsible for lawn maintenance or snow removal?

He deliberately used a plow to destroy my driveway when there was snow, prompting my insurance company to come after me.
