With fears of a slight property value pullback looming and the lending landscape tightening, it is especially difficult.

So that's $6,500 over asking plus $6,500 in commission savings = $13K in additional profit over asking price.Breakdown of which I did 70% of the work myself...Purchased home for $112,000 (Cash) 2/24/2017Closing Costs: $1,461.06Rehab Expenses: $58,540.78Holding Costs: $278.17 (Utilities)Offer Accepted: $230,500 (Asked $224K) 5/8/2017Profit: $52,637.22Total Rehab time: 69 daysDays on market: 4 daysHome Facts: 1576 sq.ft. 3/2/2, new roof, foundation (21 piers), masonry work, new HVAC, New Appliances, New cabinets (soft close), totally gutted bathrooms, new floors throughout, new landscaping and sod, painted brick and all interior and 2 non-load-bearing walls removed in kitchen.Home Details

This was from an immigrant who came to Vegas alone at 16 and now had his own landscaping business.

Do you worry about trying to refinance down the road and the market having a different lending landscape? 

We also had to rent a demolition hammer for $85 to remove the tile.Next on the agenda is tree trimming, removal of 3 trees, stump grinding, and some rough landscaping work.

The roommate also wanted some ways to keep his rent low so I reworked the entire landscape by paying him through lower rent.

And it helps to be more aggressive with depreciation (i.e. separately write off appliances/carpeting/floating floors/cabinetry as 5 yr property, and driveways/sidewalks/fences/landscaping as 15 yr property).

In New Orleans , I know the landscape and have no trouble for having options to house hack , but Atlanta I have no idea .

How important is having your landscape when flipping a house?

Any landscape suggestions/advice/opinions from anyone that flipped a house on a large parcel would be appreciated.
