For future rentals, if they're in blue collar or "average" areas, I wouldn't invest money in sod unless the lawn is completely barren.

However, if the flooding is once in a blue moon (or rare), then by all means address the issue and close on the deal with a $4K credit.Let me know if you want to know what suburb is projected to be bad in terms of flood insurance cost.

Little old ladies, hard working blue collar folks with families, young people like him-anybody- they just don't care.

Once you live here and see the mountains and river and the blue sky you wont want to leave.

A nice navy blue with bright white trim and accents would look good in my opinion but then again, as J Scott mentioned, the neighborhood plays a factor.

My DIY yellow letter costs:Yellow Paper $0.02Envelope $0.10Ink $0.02Postage $0.28Total $0.43If I got cheap envelopes I could go even cheaper ($0.35) but I got nice blue invitation envelopes

I think I may see 4X in peak season (Leaf Season where I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains).After expenses, I think I'm still seeing 2X in my pocket over LTR, and I have had ZERO 'tenant' issues so far.I've bought another just up the road, and am in the middle of rehabbing that one, and am trying to get it finished in time for Leaf Season also.My personal plan at this point is to try to find more SFRs that look like they can/will cash flow anything positive in a LTR situation, as a fallback position.
