Every market is different, a letter I send in Denver might not do well in Florida due to demographics, economics, and 100 other factors.

Things I've done is rented (2) 10 Cubic Yard Dumpsters, replaced the front porch, gutted the entire upstairs, put drywall throughout 75% of the property, rewired the electrical systems, re-coated the metal roof, landscaping and etc.So EVERYTHING I purchased for the property such as materials, small tools such as pry-bars, drywall knife and etc must be capitalized or just the MATERIALS used for the improvements?

I understand why the PM was defensive, anyone would be when your professional license could potentially be at stake, and my apologies for implying that the PM overreacted.Also, thank you for your response I did not think anyone would so it's very comforting that you took the time to write.There must exist some type of service where though the PM performs most of the managerial duty, there is a "supplemental" manager who is also entitled to fees.When you have a rental home where the rent includes fees for landscaping, obviously a piece of rent goes to landscapers, yet landscapers are not licensed real estate agents, so how does that work legally?

This includes: Advertising, Utilities, Insurance, Landscaping, managers fee, Taxes, etc.

The landscapes are in great need of attention ... the landscape crews (children) have moved.The type of neighborhood I just described could be a huge challenge for many investors.Yet, for the right group, this type of neighborhood could be a goldmine.

I'm a licensed Landscape Architect and father of three.

Larger office towers owned by institutional investors are usually a little different than the mom & pop garden-style office buildings, but here are some basics:Negotiate vendor contracts / oversee vendor operations (security, maintenance, janitorial, parking, landscaping, etc)Oversee TA's/TI'sTenant interaction (usually complaints, not usually compliments)Report to ownershipWork with accounting on monthly financials and rent collectionsWork with legal on delinquencies, evictions, disagreements with tenants on lease obligationsLeasing and renewals - sometimes done by a professional leasing agent, sometimes done by the property managerOccasional/unusual stuff like hosting tenant events, putting up holiday decorations, fire drills, construction defect lawsuits, vandalism, homeless people sleeping on the property, etc ...

We can do flooring, interior and exterior painting, fencing, interior and exterior light fixtures, sinks, faucets, baseboards, closet internals, window coverings, door knobs, electrical plugs, switches, and covers, mailbox, appliances. garage door, opener, exterior/interior caulking, landscaping.

Depending on your target demographic, having no pets allowed can decrease the available renter pool.

You may also want to look closely at what landscaping you have near where your line is.
