With the landscape constantly changing, it's vital to adapt and find innovative ways to not only reach buyers and sellers but also close deals efficiently and effectively.Here are some strategies I'm looking to discuss:Digital Marketing: Have you transitioned to an online-first marketing approach?

It wouldn't take much for me to become the prototypical fat lazy landlord rolling around to pick up fat stacks from his starving skinny boarders, so I at least try to get my dog to the river or the dog park a few times a week, I go out in the garden and pull some weeds (but don't smoke them, those days are long past), hop on my tractor and get some arm exercises in pulling up and pushing down on the joysticks, and get some stair-stepping in when I forgot something down in the garage. 

.- It needed a community face lift and re-brand (was called windmill apartments....yuck.)We came in and strategically worked our business plan:- We upgraded the exterior including fresh paint, signage, and landscaping.- We removed delinquent tenants and changed the community standards around to provide a safe and clean place of living.- We've upgraded 75% of the units with fresh flooring, paint, cabinets, countertops, and appliances as needed.When we took over the property the 16 units were producing around $9000/month in gross rent.I just checked our rent roll today, and we just crossed $17,000 in gross income monthly!

The little ones for the small landscaper were just over break even, because you still need a chassis, an engine, hydraulics, a seat - the cost does not change much.
