Property management, realtor, landscaper, inspector, appraiser 

A couple of the big cost items are insurance, computers & software (one software seat can be $5k+/yr or more), employee pay and benefits, mortgage for office building, license fees etc.Some items that people don't realize is included in our fees (most of the time) is our consultants such as structural engineer, MEP engineers, civil, landscape architect, etc.

I was planning to do some landscaping work this weekend and my yard is a soggy mess.

Buy rental homes.Manage AirBnB.Run a cleaning, demo, cleanout, landscaping, pool service, construction, handyman, business.....any service clients need....pest control might also work.

Did a full rehab: new kitchen, bathrooms, tore down a load-bearing wall separating kitchen and living area, floors, paint, landscaping....the works What was the outcome?

We took on some landscaping and re-painted a good bit of exterior decking.

We repaired to pool, added a fence, and improve the landscape.

I also liked the idea of being able to rehab everything in the property and not have to worry about landscaping or roofs, etc. for my first deal.

About 249 total sq ft.The front yard which has rock landscape  looks rough.

Replaced floors, landscaping, interior / exterior painting and minor electrical updating What was the outcome?
