I think doing the bottom half a Gray color and the siding white, with shutters that match the door (maybe a Navy blue) would look great.Trim the hedges up, do something around the sidewalk and maybe a flower bed on the left side and this property will look 100x better

REI isn't all flowers and rainbows either. 

I looked today but could not find it.Mark Azevedo had a great suggestion in hunting around locally to wholesalers like myself they get the properties in after the AM has released it to them in a purchase, but they still need to resell it unless they "buy/hold".Another option would be to contact your local Real Estate Investment Clubs and Cash Flow Clubs to see if they have any listings to release to you.Susan Flowers had a great idea also about doing BPOs, but there are lots of web sites that will do that for around $8 to $13 per door.

Show your generosity with birthday and Christmas gift cards and leniency on rent when they are in a crisis and save the rebate fund for re-carpeting.

I'm all for sending them flowers and champagne once we get our checks.And thank you, James, for letting us know so promptly!

It was another 3 weeks before the house was ready for move in and I was able to move in 3 days before my birthday.

(a new appliance, a couple new light fixtures, adding a flower bed, a new kitchen faucet, etc).

I don't want to buy them flowers for Valentine's day, or beg them to stay for years in exchange for late rent and letting them slide on a few things.

They are a lot pricier than 5 years ago and way pricier that the Rustbelt cities most cash flowers are targeting, but they are still under priced at Coastal City levels.
