Be forewarned that the artificial grass gets extremely hot in Florida.

I'm shopping around for some snow removal and lawn service companies...

The people living next door don’t deserve to have idiots throwing up on the lawn.

New waterline should be trenched and installed next week, trying to get this work completed as quickly as possible as the new line is running through the tenant's front lawn and driveway.Gas company is waiting on an encroachment permit from the city so they can schedule the new meter install. 

Because the rest is in decent shape, I am doing the lawn mowing.

Once I move out, the monthly rent will be $2150.After gaining 20% in equity, my plan is to refinance out of the FHA loan which will rid the monthly FHA PMI cost of $140, taking my payment down to $1235.The in depth numbers that nobody talks about (except the realists on BP):Monthly rent: $2150Monthly PITI+FHA PMI: $1375Expense estimates: $560 (details below) Capital expenditures (roof, HVAC, etc) @ 8%: $172Maintenance (repairs, leaks, etc) @ 5%: $108Vacancy @ 5%: $108Property Mgmt @ 8%: $172(all utilities, trash, lawn care, and snow removal are tenant responsibilities.

I agree it's annoying when you see properties on the MLS priced artificially low and you know they're just trying to attract multiple offers, but maybe not as annoying as when they're priced unrealistically high! 

Plus utilities, driveway, garages, finish grade and lawn/landscaping.

80% occupancy rate is very high- that’s basically 5-6 days booked for every week for all 52 weeks.You are also not counting other STR expenses in your calculation- things like replacement cost (everything in the house that could break will break), extra insurance, and other maintenance expenses (lawn care, snow removal, periodic appliance maintenance, etc). 

I currently run and own a lawn & landscape company and work in that almost full time while the rest is in an insurance office.
