I will say that the utilities are going to kill you, property taxes won’t be cheap, landscaping 10 acres isn’t free, and I really wonder how your insurance provider will feel about a 200 foot zip line.

The landscape may also need to be altered to ensure water flows away from the property.I don't live in Missouri so I would also want a project manager to ensure construction quality.

Obviously, you always want to include known expenses like management fees, taxes, insurance, and average utility and landscaping costs as precisely as possible, and make sure you're not forgetting anything that will throw your analysis off.

You have more responsibilities concerning common areas, landscaping, parking lot painting, etc.

., landscaping is big, first impression is real!!

Make sure you have budgeted for landscaping since that will be the first and last impression your buyers will come and go with as they drive to your house.

from what I've heard 10% is an acceptable commission rate  (Pools, Roofing, Concrete seem to be the highest dollar value jobs - but painting, landscaping, fencing would seem the easiest to sell)

I would also love to flip houses when I can on the side and I would like to be involved with some of the work myself like installing flooring, paint, trim work, landscaping.
