Is the condo on the top floor, garden unit?

I can demo a whole house for 1k. even landscaping.. 

You can either require the tenant take care of landscaping by providing the equipment and writing it in your lease agreement or build that cost into the monthly rent. 

Do you think it's profitable/good investment to buy a single garden apartment unit with the goal of renting it out in a very rentable area of north new jersey (where i live).  

My last flip was a $36,000 rehab with all new plumbing, electric, HVAC, flooring, interior and exterior paint, and an all new kitchen and bath with a ton of trash out and yard landscaping.

There are very pricey areas like Lakeview, Uptown, Garden District, North Midcity, but there are lots of working class areas where it is safe, prices are reasonable, and rents are strong.  

I spend most of the day yesterday in my garden, getting a tan, working out side.

You'll have a hard time finding any rentals and making money purely off the cashflow since the prices there are too high to justify the rent amounts unless you go Multifamily, the more units the better.Here are a few that I found on an initial search, but they all lose money when accounting for longterm capital expenses (roof, furnace, landscaping,...)http://www.themlsonline.com/minnesota-real-estate/...http://www.themlsonline.com/minnesota-real-estate/...http://www.themlsonline.com/minnesota-real-estate/...http://www.trulia.com/property/3228277669-5001-New...http://www.themlsonline.com/minnesota-real-estate/...

he pointed out a few things i did now know. i have alot of contractors in my network, many of who i consider "friends" and have helped in some way or another, so i called them to get a quote and their advice on the project. we sat down tonight and addup costs of rehab. downstairs duct work, roof labor, tile, carpet, laminet, paint, minor landscaping, foundation work (previously quoted), drywall, fixtures, adding ac to FROG, etc...OUT TOTAL CAME TO 35000 WITH A LITTLE FLUF!
