My ideas included adding privacy fend sections with hanging plants (to add a little elegance) in front of the windows that are prone to being broken.

Viña is elegant and more expensive.I know there are some expats living in Algarrobo and others in La Serena.I'm not sure about Zapallar and Cachagua.

I do not know the michigan laws but that would be the backdrop for what is not clarified in the lease.

-add new house numbers that fit the style of the home-add a potted plant--colorful, elegant, stylish--at the front door-add a new mat at the front door-park a luxury vehicle in the driveway or garage/carport for photos if the property is more upscale-clean (and organize?)

You too, are elegible to join the B of A fan club :)

Make your flips stand out by having just a little more elegance, a little touch of class, something unique at that price point, but maybe common in the next step up in price.

When i find myself there, i usually take a step back, drop my effort level and mentally "catch my breath".  

I have rarely had truly bad tenants and have never yet had to pay any to leave, but that mindset as a backdrop for negotiations has been useful to me.

Not the most elegant solution but looks pretty decent when painted (rest of kitchen is pretty nice with ss appliances and granite counters - bathrooms are just regular white tiles).  

I still think of it as the "old people, fuddy duddy" apartment complex...right down to the independently owned beauty parlor and café on the first floor (very unusual for my area).The building itself even looks a bit "grandma"...elegant and in great condition, but a bit dated and old fashioned, with heavy Italianate type of architectural features.
