As the real estate landscape evolved, so did my approach to underwriting.

The original owner in 2012 spent over $11M building the properties and over $1M on landscaping/coffee orchards.Misc Other Expenses Incurred: $250,000Total: Around $7.2M.

I do have good folks for plumbing, flooring, landscape, fencing and paint.

With the landscape constantly changing, it's vital to adapt and find innovative ways to not only reach buyers and sellers but also close deals efficiently and effectively.Here are some strategies I'm looking to discuss:Digital Marketing: Have you transitioned to an online-first marketing approach?

.- It needed a community face lift and re-brand (was called windmill apartments....yuck.)We came in and strategically worked our business plan:- We upgraded the exterior including fresh paint, signage, and landscaping.- We removed delinquent tenants and changed the community standards around to provide a safe and clean place of living.- We've upgraded 75% of the units with fresh flooring, paint, cabinets, countertops, and appliances as needed.When we took over the property the 16 units were producing around $9000/month in gross rent.I just checked our rent roll today, and we just crossed $17,000 in gross income monthly!

One of the items that was mentioned was landscaping and that 100% of the time this is something that is invested in.

Then you'll have surface parking, landscape, etc.

Research the tax landscape before investing.

We bought a new build last year and it came with a lot to be desired on the landscaping end.

The little ones for the small landscaper were just over break even, because you still need a chassis, an engine, hydraulics, a seat - the cost does not change much.
