I had spent time with the neighbors, joined the block club, and gave EVERYONE my number but no one bothered to call when they saw guys hauling my stuff away.

For rental condition, make sure everything is clean and functional (and safe) and has amenities similar to those in your area and price range.... no need to make it look like HGTV after shots...Some of these items you list sound cosmetic and it may fair well in your rental market as is or with just some minor fixes (again, I would look at similar units for rent (not sale) in the area to get an idea if formica and older carpet is the norm in your area and price range...)And I would simply look at temporarily blocking off or restricting the fireplace use, clean the carpet, tack on the molding.

Very much a"block to block" city, with respect to "niceness."

Question - if I pay for the pro does that allow me to have my email and number in my sig block and also can I pay for ads on the site.?

Well - you will have a lot of stumbling blocks.1.

If you happen to see some appreciation consider it a bonus on top of the great ROI.We have many great areas to focus on but one must be careful because our market can vary greatly block by block sometimes within the same neighborhood.I'd be glad to show you around when you arrive.

There is a Catholic church a block away and a brand new elementary school two blocks to the south.

Great deal on the smallest, most beat up property on a nice block type of thing gives you lots of upside.

Some blocks are less desirable and some are very desirable, one mile could be a huge difference.

A few blocks one way or another can make a difference.
