Deal like this need at least 25 to 30% plus closing costs.

If I had contracted out the work it would've probably cost about the same due to holding costs in the winter, time off from my job and general focus I had to put into it. 2.

If the locks have been change, you can drill out the locks and charge them both for the costs. 

That sounds bananas expensive, especially if they havent found anything yet... let me check some of my transactions, I feel like the cost should be more like 1500 to 3000, will wrap back around to this

All in, it should cost me around 35k and the mortgage is 46k at 5.75% with a payment of around 645 and HELOC I used for repairs at around 350.

I planning to have backyard installed in new construction SFH.I read this cannot be added to the cost basis of the rental property and be depreciated by 27.5 years since it is not an improvement to the property.But what about paving the patio and side of the garage, where it is touching the house.   

So our entry costs were minimal.We didn't have to put it on the MLS and paid the buyer's agent who found us through a Zillow ad.
