Hey, someone give me a general idea of snow removal costs per year for a duplex/triplex that has a long driveway?

Quote from @Brandon Lee: I’ve noticed more investors leaning on private money in today’s climate while others still prefer traditional loans.If you had to choose one for your next deal, would you go with private or traditional — and why? 

A lean vacancy rate of 5% and management fee of 6% leaves you with 11% to cover repairs/reserves, property taxes, insurance, common utilities, snow/landscaping?

We are seeing many pricing in the 6's now. 

The pro is additional heat source in the once every two year snowed in with electricity out situation. 

they take care of all utilities, and mowing and snow removal. 

The snow isn't that bad then?

- Were the cash flow metrics tough to meet compared to traditional approvals?

You'll also get a good relationship with your customers, so depending on where you live, you could do seasonal up-sells: rake leaves, shovel snow, put up Christmas lights, mow lawn, etc.

Not to pooh-pooh long distance investing but I’ve got 2 properties that are 35 minutes away from me and I just don’t visit them as frequently especially during snow season as I do my other properties.
