If the outlet isnt grounded, that will send the surge right into the tv, instead of what it was supposed to be grounded to.

BP is definitely an outlet for incredible content.

Sometimes evicting bad seeds can be very difficult and time consuming.I think the landscaping #'s are low, low quality tenants tend to litter a lot and make a mess of the grounds and nicer bushes/trees/flowers are integral to luring better tenants. 

You have to have the vision to see past the ugly things--whether they're on the inside of the house or on the outside.Once the bushes were trimmed down and we added flowers and flower boxes, it really created a nice curb appeal.

:)  Lowe's sells a 2-outlet timer for $35.  

The back yard was super overgrown as well with 2’ tall grass/weeds and trees hanging over and pulling down sections of fence.On the inside the house needed new flooring throughout, paint throughout, new thermostat, some new outlets and switches, several new doors including front/back.

If that doesn't pan out let me know and I will refer you to someone else.

Simple fixes; get rid of the shrubs, add shutters, some flowering plants, some kind of decoration over the garage door - those big stars seem to be popular in suburban areas, one or two patio chairs and a small table on the porch, simple stuff like that can make a big difference.

In NJ, changing fixtures, outlets, and minor plumbing repairs do not require a permit and can be done by anybody.

Cigarette butts in the flower beds and parking lot are tell tale signs.
