Provide a nice place to live, where you show pride of ownership and they will typically respond with taking care of your place.But also, being selective in who you rent to.  

Doing quite nicely and we are growing really fast here!

Let's say next Spring if you hydro mulch and water and fertilize like crazy you can have a nice yard full of grass in the back next summer.I have seen some builders about this time of year use some kind of roll out mats to keep the dirt covered until the house is ready or Spring for sod. 

Right now I am concentrating on a single style (LTR small multi in CT) and a catastrophic event here would frankly put me out of business. 

Take a nice road trip. 

The bottom line is making sure your scope of work to the property does force enough appreciation so you have a nice profit margin. 

Nice to meet you.

It's nice to see another investor here in the Sioux Falls area.

Nice!

For my personal home, I went cheap and bought nice but inexpensive Costco tub that runs on 110v, takes 1-2 days to come up to temp depending on time of year, and I had no perspective on the speed of 220v units.
