I'm sure there's an acronym somewhere but it really doesn't matter.But, we've also done some deals that probably aren't as great as they could have been, we could have waited and got better deals, but we have one small problem - we don't have a crystal ball.So we play the game the best we can today, rather than worry about the deal that may or may not happen tomorrow.However, of the bad deals, although they may not be as good as we want it opens doors (both physically and metaphorically).For instance, we got to a size of SFRs (with the bad deals - grass still needs cutting) where my wife employed a gardener for two months whilst I was away.

Currently, there is a single car garage on the south side of the property, a parking spot just north of that, then a garden just north of the parking spot.

Our landlords even dug up and mulched over our grassy lawn, wildflowers, and garden which we eat from daily in order to make the yard look "neat" for potential buyers.

(Or maybe you don't want to get sued when kids fall out of the tree...)It might be worth taking the photos you posted to a local garden center... not the one that pops up on the side of Wal-Mart or Home Depot in the summer, but a locally-owned place that has plants, seed, etc year round.  

Phil F.to answer your question the areas I am accustomed to purchasing in are either working class or urban neighborhoods such as Fountain Square, Bates Hendricks, Drexel Garden, Emerson Heights, Little Flower, Old Southside, Irvington.

A gooseneck wand that fits on a garden hose and pressure washes them works wonders all from the ground.    2 and 3 story houses they may work,,,thinking oversize downspouts are a better fix and plug less. 

is it garden style?

Alternatively, you could probably get sand from a local gardening place and use that to provide traction on walkways and drives {it will be friendlier to your garden than salt as well}.

After an in-depth market analysis, I've decided that a post-1950 property on N Hawthorne and E 36th in Audubon Gardens was the right fit for a BRRRR strategy (expecting $700 / mo income in rent, $200 - $150 in cashflow with a mortgage).

I am trying to add a garden for the building!
