I have a landscaping business, and I'm usually riding through several of my targeted markets constantly, in addition to just driving the other vehicles all over the place, so this will give me great exposure to drive leads for my company as well.

Expenses tend to go down each year as we do major work in first few years of each property (roofs, generators, landscaping, troubleshooting). 

The landscaping had been neglected for years so it needed major pruning. 

Obviously I'm generalizing but I think the statistics would back me up.

Is it written into your lease that the tenant must maintain the landscape? 

It definitely needs landscaping - fencing would attract families. 

Cover that open portion with a panel, landscaping (just hide it with tree or shrubs), open it up totally for a garden, etc. ....

It needs a new roof $7,000, electrical $3,500 a unit, plumbing $3,000 a unit, refinish hardwood floors $3,500 a unit, privacy fence $1,500, landscaping $750.00, interior mud work and painting $5,500 per unit, 4 new doors units and possibly 5to8 new windows maybe $5,000.   

The website analyzed Birmingham real estate and looked at key statistics related to the rental market to determine that the Magic City is the ninth best city for renters in the nation.

., @Minh Le, @Bob Bowling, @Arlen Chou and other equity guys, is this NYC statistic one more piece of support of the increasing rents and cash flow in prime areas?..
