At least then you have a chance of catching most of the problems visually if you know what to look for.

It is simple and cheap but yields big visual returns.

Your contractor or someone knowledgeable should be able to get a good idea from a visual inspection.

As someone who's finely attuned to visual impact, I try hard to create an aspirational experience either for the renter or buyer.

M Ness,I do NOT give the keys to the tenant, until they provide me with proof that the Utilities are in their name.

After all is said and done, they add zero to the visual appeal of a property.

Which may be hard as I actually like the feeling of uneasy-ness.

Not sure how true this isand also I’m not expert in this topic ( disclaimer ) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Short story , I was at local REI meeting earlier today Conversation was regarding private money It was discussed that individuals our getting private funds ( 6 – 8% ) then taking those funds and offering separate loans to another investors as a hard money rates (14 above % )Pocketing the differences on positive transactionsImportant – I know there laws about distribution private and hard money loansHere how I visualize individuals our performing this type of funding:Sub1 – person who offering original private money ( IRA / etc )Sub2 - let name Johhy B Nasty ( middle guy )Sub3 – person looking for funds , but have no credit / exper. / etcPossible transaction :==============================================Sub2 - borrow money from Sub1 at 7% for 9 months Sub2 - borrow new obtained funds to Sub3 at 14% for 7 months Sub3 - completes rehab, market property, &sell to new home ownerSub3 - pays back Sub2 original loan amount + interest used ( 14 % + rate )Sub2 - immediately pays back Sub1 + interest used ( 7% rate )Sub2 - made interest off of Sub3 rehab deal basically ( the interest rate difference )Everyone happy -> sub1 , sub 2, and sub 3Again~I know their laws & licensing for offering private/hard funds

I'm looking for some color possibilities for the front door and shutters that make it more visually appealing and help it stand out.
