I am in livonia and have a good landscape guy.

However that would be after PITI + Property Management (even if self managed), maintenance reserve (based on property condition, age, location, etc), and other costs such as utilities, landscaping, or applicable association fees.

Since it is a multi you will still be responsible for that, as you will be for landscaping in the warm months.

For this area, there are some with moderate condo fees ($50-$200/month) that cover garbage, water, landscaping, pool/tennis courts (if there is one).

The podcast was #29: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/08/01/bp-podcast-029-peer-to-peer-fix-hold-dawn/ @Yang Xiao It was 174500, 3080 sq ft, rent ready with window treatments, towel holders, and landscaping.

Buy some Microsoft stock then go to go to Redmond WA and try doing some landscaping and paint the front door and see if you stock goes up.

The mobile home is permanent with landscaping, utilities, water, etc and is approx $29K.

So, I've made a video of my last house I checked out, a complete walk through (except exterior, which you'll just have to trust me needs exterior paint and some landscaping that I'll do on my own) and I want to let the other newbie's like myself see how my numbers come out.

I love the gated community and the golf views...also nice in that it has a more open feel and it has a more "green" desert landscape than a lot of LV communities.

I was looking for something just a little shabby that could use a bit of landscaping, painting, maybe a light fixture here are there.
