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

.: @Robin Simon I’m looking to put at least 5% down in a loan and use a larger portion of my capital to buy down the interest rate to take off a couple of points.

My husband is currently renting an apartment, for which the lease expires in a few months.

Hey Drew, this home won't rent for $3,165 per month as stated in a previous response. 

Naturally, she wants to be in a more comfortable environment to welcome our son into the world.However, there’s a legal hurdle.

Two recent clients purchased properties with less than $250K down in New Hyde Park and Lynbrook.One property has a detached garage to bring in additional income and the other has a 1-bedroom ADU.Both deals cashflow.These aren't easy to find in a seller's market but they're out there. 

It is in a great location, but needs a ton of work.

dont know title officer would know  and it would come out in a title report if its corrupt.

Just saw a well respected MF operator buy a property they have big plans for in a very rough neighborhood. 

Unfortunately many of the improvement costs do not deviate greatly when you’re renovating a lower cost property  in a particular market compared to a more expensive property  in the very same market which makes it difficult to absorb the improvement costs in some areas.
