The community landscaping and maintenance wise looks like a mess but i'm getting a good deal on the property, would it be a good decision to invest in a situation like that.

New siding and windows and painting exterior and interior (trying to decide on replacing carpet or removing the carpet for a renter friendly idea), fencing replacing broken garage door and some landscaping. quite alot of hours and Im doing all the work myself which is adding up.

what about the back yard is it landscaped better?

I plan to hire a smaller contractor to handle the job and purchase the materials for them, also probably sub out items they are not good at like landscaping and concrete repair.

Small blocks, all look well maintained (landscaping, upkeep, etc.).Definitely the most rural-feeling of the areas we visited.

My question as a newby is how much value does landscaping add to your homes?

id=1IaAr5B1WeT...Cleanup Job (Low cost fast flip): landscape package in front remove deckremove vines from house clean exterior, fix siding and wood rot, paint neutral beige/gray color clean driveway/weed, clean retaining wall/pavement replace flooring with mid grade flooring bottom level, carpet upstairs replace interior fixtures paint interior white trim, light color beige/gray walls, popcorn ceiling removal new kitchen appliancesRehab options: Replace deck with new one (kind of awkward that high to me) vs Remove and fill in wall or add large window to master.Potential space to move laundry into upstairs bathroom closet vs basement Can maybe get away with toilet/vanity replacement in each bathroomUncertain if painting or replacing cabinets with ikea type is worth itAny in-ceiling lighting will open up codes stuff with electrical since it is out of dateRepave/fix concrete front porch and side porch - replace/paint railingReplace front walkway cement, or remove walkway and replace with right angled walk to driveway (may not provide ROI)Tear down vs paint garage port in back yardWhich do you think provides highest ROI? 

I worked for a tree trimming company for a little while, which led to me starting my own landscaping company.

VERY... that's why hard money totally dominates the lending landscape in fix and flip in our market. or cash.

Only difference is I knew the landscape, but at the same time you are comfortable with your decision and pushed fear aside and got in the game.
