Union Planter's Bank indicates they will probably set aside the sale and return my cash.  

Do you have any budget to create planters, porches, patios in front?

I sometimes wondered, if I was being protected in some way.One day I walked by a house that was on the way to one of my other houses and the guy there was outside and asked me if I wanted to sell my antique stove, that I had on the front porch as planter, because his mother loves it.

Don't forget walnut panneling, spanish wrought iron light fixtures, fuzzy toilet seat covers to match the tile, hanging lamps with garden bottoms for ivy, entry planters on dividers and outside lawn art, white geese and ducks.

If property might have water problems, created raised planter beds (among other things) to direct water.22.

If done correctly (with windows, nice stone finish material, etc), it could be an architectural asset as well.With some proper professional landscaping (maybe also cut out a planter along the side of house), and addressing the driveway issues, that should eliminate the aesthetic liabilities and give you an amazing amount of curb appeal.There are other possibilities for completely redesigning the approach to the entry (straight off the front with a right-angle landing and a gabled portico), but would involve a lot more demo-ing, building, and expense.Similar to this:http://www.houzz.com/photos/17493/Becker-Architect...

What you need is to fix the brick planter walls and some plants, assuming you are doing this! 

There were some plastic planter boxes on the ground and an open bag of soil on a deck box, a bottle of insecticide in the grass where I fell and 2 partially empty water bottles thanks to kids.

They took away the doors and built a brick wall with windows and some planters.

We used metal edging, "black star" gravel in the beds up front and seating area, planted sod (900SF by seating area), compacted pea-gravel on top of road base for the driveways, and did a planter at the corner of the property by the street.
