It's exciting that you have some intimate knowledge of the rental market and the general landscape of Boston real estate.

If you use landscaping fabric under the bark, weeds won't be a problem.

Would anyone have any good contact for Landscapers in Pittsburgh? 

For instance, have you accounted for maintenance, CapEx reserves, taxes, insurance, water, trash, electric, gas and landscaping?

That gets me to my catch 22.My wife and I are hoping to get into VRBO world so we can enjoy and make more cash flow than we are currently making, but I'm wondering if we should put that off 18 months, rent out the property again and then reconvene at a better time or suck it up, lose a few thousand off the asking price and get moving on our goals...Financials - We owe 143,000 on the house (refinanced to conventional from FHA right after the seasoning period), it rents for $1850, mortgage, taxes insurance, HOA is $956, we just sunk $11,000 into carpet, paint, landscaping, replaced a vanity to get it ready to sell and I fear renting we might have to redo a couple of those things. 

As such, many people are buying these buildings, redoing the exteriors (trendy paint colors, new signage, putting on those big street numbers that seem to be all the rage, modern landscapping, maybe replacing some siding to give it an updated more modern look).Okay, so my question:  A buddy of mine asked me if I knew anyone that did this type of work. 

Landscaper's, uber driver's, trash people, newspaper carriers etc. they spread the word to people they know to help before you know it you have tons of deals coming your way.

My clients UHNW investors love knowing what the tax landscape will be for the next 4 to 5 years.

Once you've estimated how much each room and the landscaping will cost, add 6% of selling amount for realtor fees, and I think you are in Maryland so find out what your local state fees for selling are and add that to your expenses.

Tenants pay all utilities except landscaping, plowing, taxes($22,600 yearly) and house insuranceThe rental income is total $6,550 a month currently based on financials provided by seller agent.
