@Ivy Flowers Great questions to ask a potential broker!

Welcome to Biggerpockets @Deyon Flowers

So I had to counter all the BS negatives he produced with pictures and documentation to assist the buyer - - 'fait accompli',  appraisal came in just 5k short the the listing price.The inspector was just way off base, opening subpanel covers and complaining on  the wiring - - just cleared by the City :sheeze:   Also made many ridiculous recommendations, including installing drains in all the flower beds.ALL such recommendations can be denied, I did, and I still closed at the listing price.Then too, the inspector & the appraiser both FAILED to cite a recent change in Code (cc 505.1) and it only got caught by the Fire Marshal and I had to scramble to get that corrected. 

Personally, I'd paint it gray with white shutters, maybe get rid of those bushes and plant some flowers

All of a sudden, the front looks symmetrical and there just happen to be some pretty trees/flowers to the left side.Here's an idea, only with black pots.  

I have already planted a few more lilies around the front (those are gardenia foundation plantings) and removed the blue spruce?

nice video Al, it's really terrible you are improving the slums and making them nicer.as the video demonstrates the typical constitution of these protesters.It's always odd that the far left consistently brings out their bizarre coalition of theignorant and aggrieved poor as their grunts, lead by the comfort born, effete elitist , false class consciousness , highly educated, effeminate, lily white enablers

It also isn't helpful for those tenants who pay rent with cash or money orders.I did do bank garnishment on my very first tenants who skipped out and took all the "valuable" stuff (silk flowers) but left unimportant things such as bank statements behind. 

The ones I have in my multi-family units are always the ones that go above and beyond taking care of the property doing things like picking up trash, raking leaves, pulling weeds, and planting flowers.

They also get other gifts from time to time, such as: house plant, flower basket, flower bowl, bedding plant, door mat, fireplace log, professional carpet cleaning of traffic areas (for long term tenants every 5 years).We do not do rent concessions.
