But, primarily, the economic landscape has changed - somewhat permanently.I do have very strong interests in developing affordable communities with a primary target market focus on seniors and the retiring - especially military.It can be done with the methods I have that are based upon my historical experience.Just my thoughts.

I'm sure there will be hiccups down the road.Some things I need to see now from a partner/provider in an out of are market are:Person actually invests in the same market for their own portfolio.Clear conveyance of local market knowledge (good/bad areas, which unit mix fits the demographic/rent the easiest, economic drivers/strong points of the local economyHave a solid understanding of my purchase criteria AND long term goals.Willing & able to answer all my questions honestly.Is very tech savvy and can give email updates/pictures/videos frequently.

From what I can see from the pictures it needs a kitchen, bath, addition of a powder room, paint, clearing of landscaping and a good scrubbing.

Like I said even as a plumber I want someone else to do the plumbing and it make money, however as a contractor I know my downside.......I am going to have a landscaper quote me 1500 dollars and in my head I am going to say forget that!

Who is responsible for the landscape maintenance?

First one I might be able to fund it myself. dress up kitchen, cheap/used appliances, redo bath, new carpet, landscape, minor fixes could cost 20K.

Lots of landlords seem to skimp on the exterior and landscaping upkeep (not to mention cleanliness).

Two of my landlords with landscaping requiring water for automatic irrigation wanted to make sure that amount got accounted for, and allowed for normal household use.

Rehab budget, including landscaping: $138,500.

Hi Nick,Although I am brand new to BP, I am a landscape contractor and my father is a general contractor.
