In this order.Curb appeal, fresh paint, clean, well trimmed landscaping, but, try to avoid spending a ton on plants and flowers, etc.Wood(faux) floors(laminate or engineeered) less than $2 per sq for flooring and will be about and extra $2 per sq to install.

I'm definitely using this as I go into this...I like how you use your birthday as a benchmark to work off of.

Today is my Birthday, and it is ALSO the 121st day since the Deed was filed!

This is a fate I want to avoid and when I was 17 nearing my birthday I started to realize I was going down the same path which scared me into taking my finances seriously, that eventually led me here.The last thing I feel I need to mention is that I am currently lost!

And happy birthday!

First off, today, May 14, is my mother's birthday.

I don't wait for retirement to plan big vacations or put things on a bucket list when I could do them today.My wife and I still plan as though we might live well past our 100th birthday, but we live day like it might be our last.

BP conference on my birthday.

Others cover only specific items like the sewer line from the street to the house.As @Maria Flowers so clearly pointed out, it can be used as a tool to not only help with repairs, but eliminate you as the middle man for every little thing as the Tenant can be set up to submit claims and pay the trade call fee if written in the lease to do so.  

@Ivy Flowers Great questions to ask a potential broker!
