He'd be responsible anywayUnless you have aLready bunch of qualified Tenants, I wouldn't rock the boat.

The front yard is steep, and so the landscaper the PM uses thinks that it is too steep for mulch or rock, and that I should keep grass and get it mowed. ($35 every 10 days).  

If the market for houses in the areas is going up some that helps too.As for the numbers: I break everything down to the cost of the wire for the rewiring, the cost of the copper line for the replumbing, cost of the sheet rock and on and on.

Currently, I'm researching the Clarksville, Tennessee and Little Rock, Arkansas areas.

My red flags were waving frantically and alarm bells were sounding at a deafening volume with just a small amount of research into these guys.

I would prefer rock instead of mulch for ease of maintenance.  

For instance, if an Atlanta based investor was now working on their first Little Rock based deal, I would wait for the second or third.

I invest in my hometown (Little Rock, AR).
