Here are my total numbers since closing back in Oct/Nov:Upfront costs: $48,516.46 (closing, downpayment, inspection, appraisal)Mortgage Payments: $7,150.92 (P&I, escrow)PM Distributions: $15,761.66 (rent collected minus repairs, pest, PM fee, gardening/landscaping, etc.)

I loved even better brainstorming with my new tenants about little extras they might want: a fenced dog yard, landscaping, better parking, raised veggie garden beds.It struck me that landlording is a caring profession.

As part of the preparation someone supposedly did some gardening of the place.

That may be an issue.That said, maybe if you have a larger, less developed lot that does not match the average buyer's ideal, think about a targeted niche buyer, be it a gardener that wants a blank slate, even the urban chicken yuppie crowd, or  a large dog owner, etc....

Just got hit with a slip and fall claim for a garden apartment property I no longer own.

Currently own home in Miami Gardens area, need any information on reasonable roofings company that provides financing with low interest rates.  

My business partner (ok, let's be honest, my girlfriend) and I started Desert Garden Properties, LLC, and bought two houses.

Basically, if there are a few Hilton Garden Inns or Marriott Townplace Suites or w/e...there is STR demand. 

The former owner's idea was to plant moss in between all the stones so they wouldn't have to mow but it ended up just turning into a weedy mess which I just cleaned up.  

I worked for a big syndicator in the 80s they had 5 k  clients 250 props mainly 10 to 30 unit garden apartments from SF to Sacramento and some larger stuff.But how they did theirs was they were real estate brokers so they got the 3% RE fee on purchase.. ( was a broker as well and I got a piece of that when I brought a deal in) then they took 10% equity  and they owned the management company..
