Similar for the desert flowers in good years (last year was outstanding and this year looks like it could be outstanding). 

Paint and flowers are nice, but they may not cure the issues.Now, if you can pull it off, there are great possibilities and advantages, but it's not usually as easy as fixing houses, but it's a start. :)

What I look for is stuff like garbage bag windows, boarded up windows and doors, over-filled mailboxs, unkept garden/flower bed, tall grass and exterior house paint chipping away.When I've approached some of these houses, many of the home owners were nice people, have no problems with their finances and not looking to sell whatsoever. 

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.

Those curves remind me of a silk sheet being thrown over a bed in slow motion.

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.
