It's a great article, but that's a drop in the bucket compared to the mass atroturfing campaign against landlords that's now being pumped on a regular basis across social media, Reddit, YouTube and every mainstream fauxgressive rag and media outlet around the country and the globe.

@Dustin CheathamI live up in Woodstock right next to the outlets.

Patching drywall...replacing outlets...door knobs... list goes on. 

Without spending a fortune you can get a lot of mileage out of some shrubs and flower beds outside and keeping the lawn healthy and trim while the season permits.

yes we do plan on living here for the coming years, and if we would to move out lets say 5 years we will definitely keep this home as a rental, whenever the time is right to move out of course, we have no date planned for that. 

It then connected to an extension core to the electric wall outlet.

The sink, faucet, backsplash, outlets and fan were already there. 

Each room was rented out individually, the property was a cash flowers dream. 

I would repaint the fence a nice light color, plant some flowers or nice plants around that tree, get rid of the bricks toward the left bottom corner (in the top photo) and replace it with something nice like an outdoor fountain (you can buy a nice one at Lowe's for $100-$200), and finally, but some nice new or used, outdoor furniture for the tenants to enjoy (preferably something without cushions so if it rains on them they don't get gross - Craigslist or Offerup has a lot of nice used outdoor furniture as new can be costly).
