I added a basement apartment to the house, redid the landscaping, and have taken care of some deferred maintenance on the house.

.- One idea suggested is to put pebbles or small landscape stones.

For example, one of our tenants gets discounted rent from April-October for managing the landscaping. 

I own 12-doors there.There are plenty of 1%+ deals in the city but you need to understand the landscape.

You left out dumpsters , HVAC landscaping , just to name a few .

Not sure if this is necessary but I have my own landscaping business that I work for making me self-employed or in the "S-quadrant" of "The Cashflow Quadrant".

My entire family is from there and I'm current in Atlanta GA running a landscaping business, saving every penny up for my first deal.Is it even possible?

How much would you have to pay monthly for landscaping, pool care, utilities?

This approach not only enhances the potential for financial success but also cultivates a deeper understanding of the real estate landscape, empowering investors to make choices that align with their long-term goals.

Engineering , permits , stormwater management system , clearing , reforestation fee , sediment control , and landscape bond , all this would run you around $175K .
