I'd be going with drought tolerant native plants if I were you.

@DJ ThompsonI currently do not invest IN Tampa but outside in the Brandon, Plant City, and Lakeland area, but yes South Tampa is a good area.  

The front flower beds have some standard bushes in them, or at least they would be standard if they did not have those wire Christmas reindeer planted in the middle of them (bush and ornament are now one).

Or, do I just assume all wall behind a bathroom wall needs to be textured?

When we pressed about what was so alarming, we were told our agreement mandated that the seller leave all plants, shrubs, trees, and landscaping in place, which apparently was ridiculous to that particular agent....even though this is boilerplate language and unless otherwise agreed, landscaping always is included.

@Julian Buick  FCI is just posting individuals notes they don't own them. they will service them.. you can make bids on them ( IE low ball them )its extremely simple on the west coast to find notes... remember our title plants are state of the art ,,, not like a lot of states in the mid west and east coast.. another words you can search the data bases that are duplicates of the court house with key strokes.. ( ie west coast title plants)  all I would have to do is call my title co customer service agent here in Oregon and tell them I want a copy of all recorded DT's that are not institutional..

It would be different if he was a paying tenant who wanted to paint the master bedroom blue instead of the existing white, or who lost his job at a plant and wanted to improve your property for rent. 

My 23yr old son is graduating from Iowa State in a few months and his church is planting a new church for college kids in Minneapolis this summer and he's going to be helping out with the music program for the startup (unpaid unfortunately).  

Somebody will have to install it, but you can buy your landscape plants there too.

My point was Lake and Porter county are bedroom communities for Chicago, they do, or did have a fair amount of steel and automotive parts plants.
