If they don't then you can go about it two ways, 1) offer to help fix it up and offer it at cost, or fix anything that is on the property boarder such as fence, landscaping etc. 2) contact city and ask them to drive by and see if they can enforce any ordinances that are being violated.

I plan on obviously visiting the property and doing as much publicly available research as possible (permits pulled, work done, zoning issues, etc) My purchase price will be somewhere between $50k-80k which is a considerably good foreclosure in my area and a 25-30% buffer I figure would be enough to cover major purchases if needed, plumbing, electrical work, appliances, landscaping and cosmetics.3.

., CapEx, any utilities, landscaping/snow removal?

Wendell De Guzman thanks for your input I have one question as I'm also new to Wholesaling, how can you access data that reveal or show the statistics of the where rehabs or cash buyers are most prevalent in your city or county?

I think you are better off with adding a planter  and landscape in front of the house. 

So my question, BP, is what other businesses are you owners of (landscaping?

Have a one on one with several and see if they understand the market broken down - By neighborhood, by statistics and have they attended neighborhood events to understand the market they are suggesting.

For example, only 1 roof, consolidated landscaping, cons. taxes, insurance, etc.But depending on your market, both models can work.

Another large part of the updates will be the overall landscape but of course the middle of December is not the time for this in Colorado.
