My wife and I had our first brush with real estate which came through purchasing our own home, and it sparked a fire within us to build a sustainable portfolio that benefits both future tenants and ourselves.

Have your family pick up a paint brush.

Sanitation department has brush pick up every week.

I think the issue is that you can't paint a group of people with the same brush.

You could also benefit from attending local meetups as that's a way to brush shoulders with multiple investors at the same time. 

But I do not like the feeling of being bullied and brushed off. 

She currently has a single wide mobile home that is past the point of repair (will be demolished), the brush (trees, vegetation) is overgrown and needs to be cleared, and she is extremely motivated to sell.I have a few questions:1) The lot is located in a mixed use area, consisting of residential, mobile homes, and a few warehouses.

We are addressing the source of the issue, which seems to be blocked weep holes, high brush piled around the periphery of the home, possibly prior leaky kitchen pipes and some holes in the brick. 

My suggestion would be to use a weed wacker first, then use a pressure washer to clean the pavers and cracks, followed by a run thru with a “weed paver tool” (looks like a wire brush on the end of a broom handle).
