I'm currently looking at a property where the owner was charged a $5000 assessment for curb and gutter on a corner lot last year and now he's in the hole and is looking to sell.

If I were out in that side of the country, I'd jump at the chance to get coffee (I've never been a coffee fan, but I'm forcing myself to like it and get addicted, to curb my addiction of Peppermint Hot Chocolates from Starbucks... it's bad!)

All are in the same subdivision, same age, similar curb appeal, all are 4/2/2, and the possible comps have comparable finish outs to what the subject house will have once it's rehabbed...hopefully by me.

Most women would kick him to the curb. =)          I recall finding an off market multiplex for an investor when I first got into real estate about 15 years ago.

That said, if I had to choose, I will often do the exterior first, for a couple reasons: - I want to ensure that the exterior is not compromised, which can allow water/rodents/etc to hurt the inside; - I want to begin to build curb appeal to create buzz in the neighborhood and start attracting potential buyers. 2.

The curb appeal of the home is the FIRST thing prospective buyers see and nice landscaping and decorative trim along with multi paint clors and nice stucco can make all the difference in the first impression.Also, I often move or demo walls to create a more open and/or fluid floor plan.

I was blindsided by a guy parked along a curb who tried pulling out real fast.Of course no witnesses as it was on a small side street.

it is harder to know exactly the cause with the third party manager involved.....for example, if you said you got calls and no showings, I might diagnose curb appeal issues. 

That yellow isn't that nice to me, and it had pretty good curb appeal before.

For a roof, I prefer to replace immediately if it is visible from the street (generally a new roof will go a long way for curb appeal).
