@Alex Flowers ..Go for it!!

I like the pre fab awning idea, and the walkway definitely needs some work to make it all look more symmetrical, I didnt even consider the lawn other than adding some flowers/bushes.

Add another foot if you put ivy or other climbing vines/flowers of the screen.

A couple of us on BP are known for long posts, some with more flowers than others, but relevant to the topic.

Here's a list of the improvements:-Replaced the roof-Landscaped the front yard with new sod, shrubs, flowers, mulch, etc.

SFRs- we take care of trees and shrubs, tenant takes care of mowing, edging, and flower/vegetable beds.Maintenance Issues: We take care of all maintenance & repair.

Hands down it's Maui, Hawaii --- the blue skies and clear water and beautiful exotic flowers.

Cost me $375/month (3 month minimum so I'll probably just move the same stuff and a few other pieces to my other vacant property that isn't selling either) and $200 for delivery/set up/pickup.I also took a bunch of artwork and random items from my own house and set it all up there, brought in some fresh flowers, and I set up the pub table with two glasses, napkins and a bottle of wine for a nice visual.

She saved me $$$ and I didn't need to file an insurance claim...I bought her lunch and send her cards/flowers on occasions...she's in her 80's(wise woman).

Give them a $25 gift card to a local nursery so they can plant some flowers (or cactus as they case may be).When I inherited tenants last year, the landlord had raised their rent right when they put the place up for sale - to make the numbers look better.
