Dress nicely when you visit them and be as professional as possible, that will score you lots of points.Good luck.

Nothing too fancy possibly modular. 

The improvements also are ones (like flat top stove or fancy sink) that tenants may not appreciate and could even break.

Up til now, I have been a "by the numbers" sort of taxpayer, no deductions or fancy paperwork.

Or the magnetic sign for your car or the fancy brochure, for that matter.

You must be talking about some fancy gumball machines!!!

Hey Robert, fancy meeting you on here!

@Jordan DecuirAdvantages (for me)Volume of transactions and repeat businessUsually less emotional and more fact based decisions which fit my personalityA niche that many other agents aren't good atI get to help people build wealthI like numbers and analyzing dealsI was an investor before an agent so I understand themDisadvantages (for me)I walk through lots of junky houses and I like to dress nice usually lolMany offers to get a deal (being paperless helped this tremendously)I won't call it a disadvantage but the fix and flips and small multi families I work w investors on usually have a smaller sales price than the retail buyers.

I would just clean it and dress it up with shutters and paint the door.
