That being said, we just completed an 824 Sq Ft 2 bed/1 bath FULL GUT, and it took us just under 2 months (demo, plumbing, electric, roof, scraping popcorn and re-texturing, drywall, full new bath, full new kitchen, flooring, paint inside and out, landscaping, etc). 

There are also additional costs in utilities/furnishings/landscaping etc for STR. 

That would depend on initial condition, but to add HVAC, upgrade all finishes, redo plumbing, electrical, paint exterior and interior, exterior upgrades and landscaping - ended up being at least $25k per unit. 

Howdy @Andy N.I use to run landscaping crews both installations and maintenance (mowing).  

The property should be CLEAN, and it's landscaping done. 

Honestly, your returns are probably better but we find, in general, that we are more comfortable in the range we are in, for now.Mowing was a cost actually incurred by our landscaping contractor and, in this area anyway, the city can be pretty quick to levy fines for having un-mowed grass (especially when it is knee high).  

I know theres no mortgage but who pays title search/insurance, recording fee, inspection, etc.Snow removal/landscaping costsUtilities. 

The plan is to update the house into the 21st century, convert the useless garage into more living space and add hvac to it, new floors, windows, a new deck, possibly move the laundry room, convert one of the bedrooms into an office and reconfigure the in-law suite to a master suite.What is good range to estimate per sqft for the rehab, including landscaping in the general Wayne/Paterson area?

I KNOW the condition of my building grounds -- since we are there doing landscaping and sprinkling de-icer in the winter.
