The other houses in the area, that are not visible from the property for sale, are rough...but i do see a few that actually look nice, new paint, decent landscaping, ok looking cars in the driveway.  

I just finished forming a single member LLC for my Landscaping business.

But with the exterior and landscaping if this is a full rehab then it could be justified.  

As Jennifer said, in my experience, developers typically don't negotiate on the purchase price, but they may negotiate on closing incentives, and on upgrades (finishes/amenities/landscaping) for unfinished units.

It came out great, good choice on the small rock for landscaping.

I suspect that once you experience something like "2008", your experience concerning the availability and investor ability to consistently choose only " deals" will change.No disrespect meant here, but the investment landscape is littered with the bankruptcies of investors who made tons of money during one type of market over one market cycle, and went broke when the market cycle changed.  

I would offer $1,000 +/- as a landscaping credit - a typical buyer will make that go a lot further with some sweat equity.

He feels its better to have 1 roof, 1 heating system and 1 landscape and a whole bunch of zeros. 

In addition to looking at the for-sale properties, I looked at the landscaping of the surrounding properties, the condition of the cars in the area, the volume of traffic and how many cars were parked on the street.

Hi guys,Can anyone refer 3 of each GC, Flooring company, Painter, and landscaper that have experience already at least open for 5-7 years?
