Do you have any landscaping/lawn care to consider?

I don't really know what I should be filtering for in terms of demographics and criteria like that, I never really looked at that as a way of filtering people into finding leads.

Removed property manager, Previous owner was overpaying on pest control, insurance, and landscaping significantly.

And the reasons for this discount are:- the property is being sold "as-is"- that the MH's are very old and in bad shape, - it's been very hard to find an insurance company that wants to take the job,- the same happens with the financing, not a lot of institutions will lend leaving the property mainly on the hands of developers,- but the property has already failed at least a couple of feasibility studies,    - It's been on the market for over a year,- In a couple of months the county will start a tax sale,- The maintenance needed is mainly demolishing 4 standing structures, clearing all the junk in the property plus landscaping (this is what I am considering in my repair costs as for now),- There are no records of maintenance jobs done on any of the units, owner will not provide any information about the property neither will do any diligence to provide such, no environmental studies (although the county said that is potential home of an endangered species), - the only fact provided is that it is zoned R-4,- although the property has a wet land area, and 1/3rd of it is forestry

Simply updated flooring, paint and landscaping.

Phoenix looks good on demographics, jobs and it's also only 5 hours by car.
