If you approached them in a way that you had a solution to the eyesore in their neighborhood they would be very receptive to talk and perhaps share contact details about the home owners son if they have them.

Furthermore, it aligns with the growing trend of home improvements that enhance daily living while maximizing investment returns.

A client of mine recently renovated a mobile home in Tempe, and it's become a surpisingly lucrative rental.
