It's been a while, but I've done a number of "prehabs" where we just clean the place up (cleaning crew, trash disposal, light landscaping) and put it on the market.

If I put half the money up a month for future repairs and general maintenance costs like landscaping I would have 7500.00 a month for income.

Just updated a few cosmetics, New Counter, Appliances, Backsplash, Handles, Clean Bathroom and refurbished tub, < Paint inside outside , Landscape, Pressure wash fence and change all light fixtures.. .

I have already asked about utilities, for example, owner pays trash, water, septic, propane, and landscaping, while tenants pay their own electricity.

Landscaped/sealed driveway.

You can def check to put meters on but You'll still go to pay trash, landscaping, electricity for common areas, tickets (if you'll get those), etc.So' I'm not saying don't do that, I'm just saying that all of the above needs to be taken under consideration.Good luck!

It is more profitable than parking funds in banks, buying cars or electronic gadgets, as real estate value increases exponentially compared to bank interest.

The bare minimum would be maybe $5k-$10k to clean up and fix minor issues (paint, plumbing, landscaping) and continue renting at $1800 (cash-flowing $600).

Fixed a lot of stuff and did landscaping.
