Quote from @Eric La Pratt: I need recommendations for snow removal.

We have larger properties (12-24 units) where we have an on site janitor/snow removal person who gets reduced rent.

Can this be done in conjunction with a traditional loan?

We do get some snow in the winter, but usually only a few times a year.

Absolutely, alternative lenders are definitely filling gaps left by traditional banks, especially for investors who need speed, flexibility, or deals that don’t fit conventional guidelines.

Snow: Hello,I am currently looking at ways to expand my portfolio and also do a few flips that may work out.

Mortgage, taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn, snow, and turn costs all land squarely on you—with zero rent coming in.Let’s look at the math:If your SFH rents for $2,000/month and sits vacant for just one month, you’re out $2,000 in lost rent plus another $500–$700 in utilities, cleaning, and turnover expenses.

Confirm flood and snow-removal obligations, and if prices are low, verify financing options early since small loans can be tricky.

Snow: This is a good way to keep the property as a second home and use it at times.

If you and the property qualify for traditional financing that should be far and away the best financing possible.
