No matter where it is, the most expensive building, Class A attracts tenants able to pay more for luxuries (amenities) such as fitness rooms, tennis courts, dog exercise areas, pools, cafes, covered parking, nice elevators, gorgeous landscaping, quality construction on both exterior and interior, well appointed lobbies and meeting areas, etc.

Look for unmaintained landscaping. 

Here are my real numbers in 2022: 51% occupancy rate (roughly 65% in Winter and 35% in Summer), $2907/mo gross rent ($175/night), $1131/mo mortgage, $523/mo PM fees (18% of gross rent), $441/mo insurance, $285/mo repairs, $200/mo electric/gas, $150/mo landscaping, $120/mo property taxes, $115/mo supplementary STR insurance, $80/mo water/garbage.

Nope.But when I get to the point that my time is so valuable that I would rather pay someone else $300 per hour, I will surely hire out things like property management and easy repairs.I think that day is a long way off for me though.You should note that property management further will not include services for "basically maintaining a livable home" like mowing grass, shoveling snow, and keeping the landscaping reasonable.

Yes in NJ since about 2006 anyone working in or around a home needs to be licensed by the state Dept. of Consumer Affairs, even landscapers, painters & handymen.Basic handyman liability for 1 million only costs about $1K a year, the license another hundred or two.

Dear Tenants,As the fall weather will soon be approaching please take this moment to review a few items around your home: 1) Lawn and leaf clean up: Remove all leaves in your yard, in landscape beds, along the foundation of the home, etc.

Outside needs a new deck and minor landscaping and there is a huge lot of land.-- She still owes 70k and is asking for 110k, here is where it gets tricky.-- I am very new so its hard to determine the ARV, but from looking at comps (from Zillow, which might be be up to date) I think it could go for 100-105k.-- and here is the biggest kicker... she hasn't paid the mortgage in 2.5 years!!!

It's misleading and weakens the welcome and curb appeal of the residence.When it comes to landscaping, don't allow anything to come in the way of the door.  

Rebuilt the house top to bottom, landscaped, paved etc.
