(By then the entire landscape may have changed anyway.)

Although I'm waiting for theinspection report still, here's what I've learned:Property has a lot of deferred maintenance.. nothing serious, but a lot of little things and need an entire landscape rehab. 

A few things that are always worth it: (1) full house cleaning (it should be spotless), (2) decent low-maintenance landscaping (you need to attract prospective tenants into the door (plant some flowers), once they're in, don't dissapoint them/keep them excited...(3) clean paint, (4) nice updated lighting, particularly in kitchen and bath.

I also did the landscaping myself as well as some finish work like installing closet mirror doors, etc.

I found your posts very informative and like your precise and pragmatic approach to the real estate investment landscape.

I like the desert landscaping of multch, rocks, and plants that use little water but not sure if that is a good option for Birmingham AL?

Wedding, honeymoon, full landscaping reno, my taxes etc… but past three months my wife and I are saving around 10-12k a month in a high yield interest savings account.

Who handles landscaping or snow removal?

I need a few trees removed and moderate landscaping in my backyard (firepit, stone wall, lighting).
