Landscaping with a lot of vegetation can require more upkeep, watering and debris removal.It's not uncommon with a multifamily property for the landlord/owner to assume major responsibility for the yard upkeep. 

It could be as simple as paint the outside, landscape, paint inside, and new carpets (aka. a cosmetic/lipstick rehab), but that would provide some cushion as you get started. 

I am 17 with a small landscaping business doing about 7k a month in revenue and I can hold down about a 65 precent profit margin when I am not buying newer better equipment.

Each of the cities listed have many variations of ROI, vacancy, demographics, etc.

You can check:- population growth- job growth- job diversity- demographics- etc.Hope this helps.

I'm treating this for the most part like our SFH flips but obviously some things are different, but at the end of the day I want a move-in ready product that targets the right demographic/buyer for a Manufactured property and park.Appreciate any input or advice!!! 

The property is located in a C neighborhood that has signs of improvement (new community center, homes being remodeled) and the duplex itself could use some cosmetic work (touch up exterior paint, landscaping, vinyl flooring, interior paint, update bathroom).

IE. added laundry in basement, fixed deferred maintenance items, landscaping, exterior paint, etc.

I also fly out 3-4 times just to check on the property and usually do landscaping, repairs, meetings with handymen, meetings with agents to see what rents are, and sometimes serve notices., and put up signs in laundry, put out rat traps, and check on gardener.

I don't know what kind of home this is or how much snow there is to remove but landscaping and snow removal is generally considered a tenant responsibility on a single-family home.I don't believe in rent reductions.
