@Jeff HeJust the beginners questions, of the current landscape of the DMV market and recommendations for entry?

The costs also cover upgrading the access down the side yard which ended up costing close to 10k overall with concrete work and other landscaping.

He demanded his sec dep returned.His $2200 sec dep no where near covered new landscaping.

A few months ago my Tenant, who is a landscaper, got bit on the arm as he was raking up the leaves and limbs that fell down after a big wind storm.

I am thinking about buying a 4BR-2.5BA SFR to BRRRR, and while running the numbers, I wasn't sure if I should calculate for landscaping(Ex: Mowing the lawn) or snow removal.

If you want to see what you can do for $50/ s.f. check my site and look for "the abandonded house" Complete gut down to the studs with a mid/high end finish out including all new mechanicals, roof, windows, exterior stucco and landscape.

Ive always taken great care of my yard and landscaping, and hope to keep that trend going even as a rental. 

Minimize unnecessary landscaping - Too many bushes, shrubs, and specialty plants are unlikely to be fully maintained. 

For landscaping, sprinkler, patio you can do a 15yr depreciation and also get a first year bonus.Just some thoughts to do more research on.  

My husband and I own a landscaping company and we’re starting to look for multi family as well.
