Did all my DD, home unoccupied, left alone for years, pool growing plants out of it etc.

There are zero pictures on the walls, one fake potted plant in the living room, and 6 placemats on the table.

Most of my properties had existing planting beds, that I would do very minimal maintenance too, but I also allowed my tenants to plant things, at their own expense and maintenance if they wanted. 

If a good part of the population can do their work remotely from a computer that makes them very resilient to these types of situations.

The Hawaii market is pretty well buffered and resilient. 

Boulder was one of the most resilient markets in the last downturn 2008-2010 (we kept appreciating at 2-3% during that time when values dropped by half in other markets), and we’re considered a safe bet in terms of consistent appreciation (values haven’t gone down in a single year here since 1983 and annual average appreciation has been 6% consistently over the past 40 years).

There are many possibilities with your capital and situation and just to plant the seed: I would look into areas with a high price per sq ft. and either buy a Single Fam.

. #2 dress from the front of the house, I don't see any photos of the front but make the colors with plants/flowers look different than it does right now so it has a fresh face lift (don't spend alot) #3 bring your rent just below market with a clear clause for increase in year 2.

My floor assemblies often call for floor toppings like gypcrete or lightweight concrete, as well as resilient metal channels on the underside of the joists which act to isolate the joists from the sheetrock below.
