When they moved in they had been getting along with my elder tenant, they had been baking her cookies and bringing her flowers.  

No don't stage the small room, it makes it look smaller. but try the dress up the kitchen area put some vine bottles some flowers in bathroom. 

Re: lawncare, this is what one of my leases says:LAWN CARE:Tenants is responsible for all lawn maintenance including, but not limited to: cutting, edging, trimming, weeding (inclusive, but not limited to flower beds), proper watering, fertilizing, and insect control to ensure that the lawn, trees, and shrubs are maintained.If Tenants neglects proper yard maintenance, the Landlord or Landlord’s Agent reserves the right to secure services of a professional lawn maintenance company, which will be hired to maintain the Premises at the Tenants’ expense.

If you want to improve your community's appeal, donate time, money or property ... coach the little league team, buy and plant flowers in the town park every spring.If you are dealing with any other professional such as a lender, appraiser, tradesperson etc and if they need to know be upfront and tell them you buy, fix and flip homes, or buy and rent homes to make a profit.IMHO Mission Statements are a waste of time.

My green grass and plants,flowers are now brown and dead.

@Lauren Flower just sent you a PM

The front could also look nicer with more color,  maybe paint the door a bright color and add some colorful flowers around near the front.

@Daunte Flowers I take on a handful of people at a time and unfortunately I don't have any space right not but I did want to give you my own advice with finding a coach.I personally think having a good coach or partner is a great option if you want to speed up the learning process.
