Repaired and rehabbed home, pool, roof, A/C, water systems, landscape design What was the outcome?

I agree, I'm looking to learn as much as I can right now and having conversations with active players in the market will give me a better perspective on the current market landscape

My goal is to do repairs on the home (driveway, landscaping, minor repairs after tenant moves) & use some of those funds to purchase another investment property.

It will need quite a bit of work (everything from kitchen, 2 baths, flooring, popcorn ceilings, paint, add recessed lighting, some plumbing work, replace patio, eventually landscaping.. basically everything needs to be touched) so we're looking for a reasonable, reliable contractor.  

They are all non-smokers, pet free, screened through a criminal/credit background check and are inclusively taken care of by our company (such as low-level maintenance, landscaping, housekeeping etc.).

I'm thinking:Pet feeCleaning feeAlso considering rolling the following into the rental price: ongoing housekeeping, utilities, landscaping to make sure all of those are maintained. 

For me, it's biggest "downfall" is that the back yard, while very large and private, is uninteresting (no pool or significant landscaping.)I am considering furnishing the home and listing it with a PM who specializes in corporate, furnished rentals.

I am about to do the landscaping on my renovation and am debating whether or not to level out an area in the front and add a fire pit. 

Lease to landscaping or snow removal company.4.  

10k a property to reach ARV seem rather low unless the seller has windows, HVAC, roofs, landscaping, plumbing, electrical, and everything but paint and flooring squared away.
