After spending the last four years studying real estate crowdfunding, as well as successfully launching a real estate crowdfunding site in 2016, I have divided the real estate crowdfunding landscape into three main types1.

____________________I just used BrokerDirectMLS to sell my rental property.Their fee was $95.. plus $100 to put your property in the MLS.. plus $100 to rent the electronic lockbox.Keep in mind.. you have to do everything yourself. 

Maybe it goes back to my college days of working in landscaping during summer and being outside. 

Shutters and some simple, low maintenance landscaping would certainly create some depth....just be mindful of any additional trimming/weeding when developing the landscape plan.Best of luck!

But be sure not to be too cheap on furnishings, bedding, electronics, etc... obviously be smart, but putting the cheapest stuff, or bare minimum will not get you contracts like a vacation rental would. 

I had a landscaping business in college, have dabbled with multiple online business opportunities throughout my educational career, and have continued to read and read about real estate investing.

In my part of the country an upgrade to a system can get pricy, we're talking about new civil engineering plans, permits, meetings with the town, excavators, and new landscaping, its a process....So I have to ask, are you sure you have a private septic system?

We've been using Cozy.co for a couple of years now and love it for electronically collecting rent and for "showing" a property online, getting applications, doing credit and background checks.
