This means that your future buyer will need to do virtually nothing to move in or rent out your property, that it is visually appealing to the masses with good curb appeal, that it does not have deferred maintenance, and that it would be eligible for the maximum array of financing options for your buyer.

Would someone mind posting an example pic of one of your handwritten signs, so I can get a better visualization?

Change the air filters, make sure sprinklers are set and watering, landscaping done, check on cracks and leaks, visually inspect roof, also checking for pets, and how many people living there. 

@Chris DalianiExcel gives a great visual on this.I put 20k down and get $450/month cash flow.If I put 5k down I get $370/month cash flow.15,000/80 = 188 (187.5) months = 15 years 8 months is the point where the equations equal out.  

I have lived through furnaces being stolen from the property, water heaters taken, siding removed from  the houses that had siding,   Copper pipes being ripped out of our houses, to Ministers who rented our homes saying they could visualize themselves living there forever, but inside meaning to never pay the rent of course.

I think the color leads me to be more accepting of the tattoos I see.BUT, I figure the Tattoo is no worse a statement than a pretty little jewel in the ear or the style of your hair and clothing.I am a very visual person.

Really add the visual component.
