We barely touched the house....all the value was based on the "Approval" from the development office to entitle the three additional units.

We are about to close on a 4 unit in 43214 just barely out of 43202.

My apologies, I figured because multis were barely coming on the market every so often it was considered a slow market.

Just a few examples:-Covered patio-Pavers vs bare concrete-Swimming pool-Hot tub-Gas fire pit-Raised garden beds-Putting green-Dart board-Artificial turf (with corn hole)-BBQ-Umbrellas-Ample seatingThis is my long winded way of saying, you are not over doing this.

Similarly, you can look at towns where STR does well and yet there are barely any contractors or service providers to be found by internet search.

I am tight in money- barely can cover down payment.

A "successful" flip is subjective -- beauty is in the eye of the beholder -- I would assert that any business endeavor is successful when you exceed 20% cash-on-cash return. 10% would be adequate. 5% would mean you barely scraped by.

Want to get this house leased by April and I want to do something with the bare dirt spots in the backyard.

I'm an investor and I barely think that splitting half the profits is fair.

There are lots of people who makes lots of money doing jobs that they hate just like there are lots that barely make any money and hate their jobs too.
