A large chunk of our money that is collected for assessments pays the management company bills and the landscaper, and the lawyer.

Are you sure you have included everything - all the design and permitting fees, impact fees, roads, water, sewer, electric, stormwater, landscaping, street lights, marketing costs, commissions to sales agents, financing costs and lender fees, attorney fees, recording costs.....Also, your statement "it is already in the process of being split into 1 acre lots" worries me.

The types of improvements that borrowers may make using Section 203(k) financing include: structural alterations and reconstruction.modernization and improvements to the home's function.elimination of health and safety hazards.changes that improve appearance and eliminate obsolescence.reconditioning or replacing plumbing; installing a well and/or septic system.adding or replacing roofing, gutters, and downspouts.adding or replacing floors and/or floor treatments.major landscape work and site improvements.enhancing accessibility for a disabled person.making energy conservation improvements.

Depending on your climate, you may be able to get away with landscaping pavers.

For my landscape clients and web design clients I send a hand crafted "sappy" letter.

Cash is King.If you are handy, plan on building property equity with small projects when you can - update a bathroom or paining, landscaping...Only take on what you can handle, what absolutely needs doing, and things that add curb appeal.
