Long gone are the days when you could put folks's stuff out on the curb!

The exterior of the building would need some work done too  in order to improve the curb appeal.

As long as the house is in good shape and has great curb appeal, that area works.

This gives a better curb appeal. 

With a condo you cannot improve the exterior of the building or landscaping like you can with a townhouse or detached home, factors that can improve the curb appeal and force up the value of the house.

If it helps curb your advice, the area where I will be purchasing is Ashland, Ohio.

I would like to do about $300,000 in improvements over the next 3 years, starting with curb appeal and energy efficiency items, and updating units to modern B- grade as they turn over.

It's good business, BUT the curb appeal quickly gets trashed - - "oh, there's another rental".

We let the dead grasses remain through Winter for a nice aesthetic and cut them down in the Spring after the first couple of new shoots pop up.No more Spring mulching, almost no weeding if plastic was put down, leaves blow right off in the Fall and a great curb appeal that many properties don't have around here.

Keep in mind that many offices are short staffed around holiday weeks as well as JP are on vacation (I know this is not what you want to hear))Suggestions :Call your tenant and explain to them that the eviction has been granted and the next step is their belongings will be moved to the curb and at that point you are not responsible if items are stolen so it would be best if they move out now to protect their belongings(And better for you !)
