@Brandon Turner has a list of good books to read.We will have to get some coffee, I lived in Ijamsville for over 20 years, now in Boonsboro, but have many friends down in your neck of the woods.

You are in my neck of the woods.

Members in my neck of the woods who know me will recognize my picture.Thank you for your welcome to BP (no sarcasm intended).

What exactly you'd need to "not like" is generally understood to be ridiculously broad in scope, which is exactly why the 6 listings agents would all throw your offer in the trash if they knew you were doing this.Fortunately, or unfortunately, that book and ones like it have gained an incredibly wide readership, now there's however many hundreds of thousands of people near me with "California Money" doing stuff like that, I'm not in your neck of the woods but I can't imagine that listing agents aren't attuned to this sort of shotgun strategy by now.

I happily laid my neck on that chopping block by giving market forecasts (some may call this predictions, but a prediction is a guess, I do forecasts which are rooted in the SCIENCE of math and data to project out future-casts). 

A big advantage of a smaller town is you won't have city officials breathing down your neck with rental inspections.

The median house price in my neck of the woods is 700K(ranging from 300s in some small markets to a million+ in others). as you can imagine school districts are all pretty good as well; of course some more so than others. 

In your neck of the woods it might be knowing “Palo Alto is really different from East Palo Alto!”

Thats great My grandmother is trying to sell a home in scottland neck north carolina.

Account Closed, first I would do all that @Don Meinke suggested (please do the goose neck correctly).second all big box stores have flexible extensions for downspouts. use 2 or 3 together and direct the water away.if you're not there in a big rain to observe, use the hose i see on the left of the picture to test the water drainage/level of the guttersi would get rid of that "fake planters" at the entrance: does not look good and right now impedes right drainage.
