Basically, if you run all your numbers - Rent MINUS mortgage, property tax, insurance, property management fees, listing fees, take into account vacancies, repairs, cap ex, (HOA fees, Utilities, lawn/snow care) and you come away with a good chunk of cashflow, then its a good buy.

Taking into account the mortgage, maintenance, vacancy, insurance, property taxes, CapEx, landscaping/lawn care, etc., does the property cash flow positive?

The previous owners were paying all the utilities for Electric, Property Taxes, Sewer, Water, Lawn care, Trash Pick Up.  

Make lawn maintenance part of the tenant's responsibilities in the lease.

You'll be paying higher insurance for short term rental property, cable/internet, lawn care,  utilities, permits and furnishings.

If at any point until now April's rent is paid, scheduling a move-out inspection with the tenant so you are able to document with them any damages to the property (including the lawn).

That CF is including money aside for vacancy, repairs, capex, lawn care, etc.  

Hi, I am currently researching some lawn care companies in Omaha and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for companies they like.

Lost rents (2-12 weeks), extra holding costs (lawn care, utilities, etc.,) make ready costs (frequently $500-$5,000), mortgage, insurance, taxes, and tenant placement fee.Every case is different.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
