Does a trashy front yard next door hurt rental prospects?
I'm considering a rental in San Antonio. The house is in ready-to-go condition but the home next door has an old tarp covered trailer in the front yard that has flat tires. It's been there for years. It's on Google street view images from 2013 and is there today.
Does something like this make rental difficult or reduce rental price?
Thanks,
Wayne

It clearly has affected you so it will probably affect others. But, renters are less fussy than owners so as long as your property looks great the affect on pricing will be little or none.
