Here's the formula:ESTIMATED SELLING PRICE (ARV) -Purchase price -Purchase expenses (inspection, survey, etc) -Rehab cost -Misc soft costs (designer, architect, engineers, permit) -Loan costs (interest payments, points) -Other holding costs (utilities, landscaping, pool maintenance, etc) -Selling costs (commissions, closing costs, staging, buyer warranty, etc)=PROFIT

Since I have owned the property I have put a new roof on it ($18k), all new stainless steel appliances ($3k) and new landscaping ($2k) the driveway is suppose to be done for ($1.5k) here next month.

Trees not only add beauty to the environment, they can be used in a landscape to increase privacy and shade yards and homes.

In a mobile home park or RV park, most of the value is in the underground infrastructure, roads, landscaping, amenities, pools, fencing, pads, utility pedestals, etc, while only a small portion of the value comes from a building, like a clubhouse or laundry facility.

Right now I'm redoing the landscaping in my front yard at home and am hesitant to get into buying anything else in T or C (as we locals call Truth or Consequences), since my first grandbaby was born on 2/28/15 and I'm longing to be closer to her, which would mean a move to Las Vegas (yuck). 

I don't mess around with SFRs so I'm always footing the landscaping bill for my properties so it's really not my area of expertise.   

Some live longer than others...and not in reference to someone who posted about a landscaper girdling the tree :(

They understand the landscape the best and can help you best understand the real insurance needs of a condo or beach house (see 3).3.

So if you're looking at buying in those cities, I might be able to offer some insight on if the house is located on a rough street.I'm purchasing the duplex as a "house hack" to test the waters on being a landlord and play around with a few offline business ideas (like landscaping).
