No landlord to tell you when to move out of your house, or if you can paint the walls, or if you can have a dogs, or if you can plant new flowers. 

In Flower Mound, TX that will get you a lot or two or a down payment on a condo or an old 1 bed 1 bath lake shack.In Dallas nothing but class C & nothing from a builder!

It is like podcasts are done for the sake of getting more admiration flowers and more members, instead of helping those that actually need help, succeed.So my critique is...dudes, focus on the people that need actual on the ground real help.

It would be one thing if we had a $1,000 flower garden underneath the wall, or some exorbitant risk exposure (i.e. falling into the kids sandbox while kids play) but neither looks to be the case here.If he's concerned about cosmetics tell him to plant some pretty flowers ;) In terms of contractors though, you can call someone who does foundations, or a landscape contractor who does retaining walls.

Glad you had success in Little Flower. 

They have been 95% full these last two yearsI've done upgrades such as a new shower in one unit, new deck on another, painted a deck on a another unit, new flooring in two units, planted flowers out front for curb appeal.

Does it have curb appeal (nice flowers / landscaping, mulched flower beds, etc), Are the amenities like screens and fences clean and looking good - no mold, rust, etc?  

The tree needed to be cut down or all the flowers removed she told me. 

Fourth, add a few decorative touches to make the home more appealing: Place a flower pot full of marigolds or brightly colored welcome mat by the front door; Set a colorful bowl of fruit on the kitchen counter; Install some decorative shelving on bathroom wall; Paint one of the walls in the living or family room an accent color that harmonizes with the rest of the room.Fifth, learn to live with and accept what that renter does with YOUR house.

Nothing major - a fun-colored pot, dish towels, a bowl of colorful fruit and flowers in the kitchen; a shower curtain and towels in the bathroom; etc.
