We have 2 long sidewalks that lead to the front of the house that I know I need to clear.

Guidelines to follow:Only buy in low-cost markets if your costs stay under 75% even after paying for two major capital improvements, such as a new roof and a new water service line.Make sure you can eliminate all obvious safety and health hazards—like broken sidewalks, missing railings, lead paint, or poor lighting.

The property is worth $500,000 roughly and this should lead to a $60-65K depreciation deduction from a mixture of long-term depreciable assets and short term (furniture, finishes, sidewalks, landscaping, etc.).

-Just been focused on affordability on infill BTR's although will be starting a larger BTR community in the near future, not a huge deal but planning on side walks on both sides of the street, not a requirement here, but will be a nice added amenity for the community.I’ve got my own ideas and experiences, but I’d really like to hear how others are navigating the build‑to‑rent wave.

Like setbacks, storm sewers or ponds, sidewalk requirements, etc.  

Furniture stored and used outdoors should be outdoor furniture, not indoor upholstered items.Steps (front and rear) and sidewalks: should be clean, and free of hazards.

The whole point is for the service to be autonomous for the mid term renter, meaning the sidewalk and drive being treated before they head out the door.With all due respect, "I'm sure" is an assumption, not fact.

Jayden still is growing, snake is 6 foot.Next week is electrical, painting inside/outside, pour sidewalk and porch. 

Slower single lane roadways might only need one or two signs at the corners.Whether there are ordinances or not, do not block sidewalks for pedestrians, cyclists, or people with disabilities.When I put out signs, I start at the house and work outwards.
