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 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.

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

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.

All of that is proven with the spreadsheet and payments you made electronically. 5.

We do nice kitchens and stainless appliances, have cleaning service, pest control, landscaping and address any maintenance issues immediately.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

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

As many of you know, this could significantly change the investment landscape by allowing immediate expensing of eligible property costs.Of course, the devil is in the details.
