need help with property that needs exterior facelift

[Yohan Kim]

I am purchasing a property and it's pretty ugly exterior front. I want to budget 5-8k on renovating. what are some cost effective things I can do to dramatically help the curb appeal on this property?

Bring in a lawn and landscaping contractor and give him $1000 to work with. You don't need to break the bank buying tons of plants and trees and whatnot; just have him mow it nicely, edge the sidewalks, trim the bushes, and cut out a few flower beds. Mowing stripes and fresh mulch are quick, easy, and inexpensive ways to get some curb appeal!

What does it look like?  What makes it ugly?  How does it compare to other properties on the block?  Whats's different?  We need more info.  A new paint job is always helpful.
