I have my landscapers, my painters, my roofer, my cabinet guy, my countertop guy, my flooring guy, etc.

The list goes on and on and may include: landscaping, exterior lighting, mailbox, patio/deck, air conditioning (although it probably has it considering your area), etc.Also consider the quality of the home.

However, I own parks where the actual expenses are as much as 10% on either side of that, simply due to the different features at each park, i.e; amenities, utilities, landscaping, etc. 

Property managers, moving companies, relocation services, neighbors, landlords, tenants, the mailman, the paper boy, gardeners, landscapers, service technicians, pest control people, friends, acquaintances, relatives and other investors.

Now another thing you can do to improve your home substantially is landscape it.

The neighborhood will probably support about $115-$120K once I do some landscaping, paint and etc.

Choose properties that need only minor repairs like paint, carpet cleaning, landscaping or a general cleanup.johnmichael: However, if a property can be bought less than 50% FMV, more extensive repair can be considered.johnmichael: Homes in the middle price range and below are in more demand and tend to sell faster.johnmichael: You need to only focus on areas that you can handle!

Good looking landscaping.

Even making substantial improvements to the landscaping - just b/c we live here and wanted to love where we live.Until the last couple months - we had a GREAT relationship with the landlord.

I'm thinking about adding a photo gallery to the forums for you to post your properties, rehabs, landscapes, and so on.
