i really curious how professional contractor able to enhance the landscape so the house can be sold way higher than without landscaping....

It also had water drainage issues and no landscaping.

Estimated Market Value: $290,000 to $330,000One of the most satisfying aspects of this investment is that the duplex is now operating at break-even, and we managed to secure it at a 10% discount below market value, showcasing the value of strong relationships and strategic decision-making in real estate investing.This deal exemplifies the importance of being adaptable to market conditions and leveraging existing networks to uncover hidden gems in the real estate landscape.

I got couple properties in Texas but I can tell you with this interest and mortgage landscape it's hard to find a property which will cashflow with 20% down.

Here is my expected cost:Land: $475kAcquisition Costs (Environmental, Survey, Geotech, Traffic Study): $25kSoft Costs (Engineering, architect, impact fees, permit, legal, closing costs, taxes, interim interest): $300kSite Development Costs: (Earthwork, underground utilities, curb cuts, fencing, stormwater, paving, landscaping): $800k ($400k/acre)Subtotal before vertical costs: $1,600,000 ($80/SF). 

We also increased curb appeal with landscaping (there was ZERO), a ledge-pack driveway, and a fire pit area.

Featuring brand new roof, new windows, completely new electrical system, completely new HVAC system, brand new plumbing inside the house, and all new designer cosmetic updates, luxury inter-locking vinyl floors & luxury stretch ceilings with recessed lighting & full landscaping with new sod up front.

I don't see any line items for landscaping items: grass cutting, annual mulching, cleanup, and snow removal (if you are in an area with snow).  

A fixed cost for landscaping if you have a yard.

@Michael Smythe I worked for a landscaping company during the summer when I was in college.
