@Stuart Udis I pretty much avoided looking into any of the Philadelphia offerings knowing I had no idea about the area or the local rental environment/landscape.

I can definitely see why you're cautious, especially with the real estate landscape in California and concerns about the economy.When it comes to Memphis, I think it’s a great option for your out-of-state investment.

There have been a few people that have done Sub2’s that come on here bragging about it.. those that do come on here bragging about seem to be  helping someone promote their product/mentoring , have a product or mentoring they are trying to remote directly or indirectly themselves, or simply do not understand the landscape of Bigger Pockets site.

You will be dealing with low-demographic tenants that qualify for S8 for negative reasons.

I have almost an acre and would love to get some upgrades done on the electrical and start specking out an ADU but because of my experiences so far with everyone from electricians to handymen to landscapers I'm holding back for a while.

Things like landscaping/snow removal and labor cost for repairs are going to be highly variable based on your market so you'd need to do your own research on the going rate by either talking to other local investors, running your own google search, or exploring basic services on thumbtack/angies list etc. 

I'd like to get some ideas about the current landscape of commercial real estate. 

That means if you could get $6,250/mo, have zero repairs, zero maintenance, zero capex, zero vacancy, provide zero lawn/snow/landscaping, pay zero utilities, and pay zero management.

@Andrew SteffensI use Eryck Castillo for landscaping 239 253 2895

Is the old adage that landscaping doesn't get any ROI in a middle-class market still true?
