Plus you will probably spend much more than $200/SF to pull this off when you account for utilities, roads, parking, landscaping etc.

The best way to find landscapers, handyman or contractor is by browsing through Yelp.

A little bit about my self I am a part time real estate agent the rest of the time I am working for my father’s landscaping company In Leominster.

@Giuliano Solger Depends where you are located but some expenses to include in your underwriting are: Property taxes, insurance, maintenance, reserves, utilities (gas, electric, water, sewer), trash, and landscaping.

So two months is very unrealistic in this landscape.

handyman, painter, landscaper, etc. 

In the Indy and Midwest a duplex is usually a 2% gross, but I've been able to add to that with basic landscaping, laundry and a few other things.  

Purchase price: $10,500 Cash invested: $7,000 Land only, needs culverts, driveways, electric, water. some landscaping and grading needed. cash invested for acquisition only.

However if I try to manage myself, there will be much more work because I will then have to manage cleaner, handyman, landscaper, and various contractors.

Put a little landscaping in the front to make the house more attractive.
