Also trimming any trees or vegetation. 

Contracts- junk cars, trash, porches and add ins, fences and vegetation, noise, age of home, contract length, etc3.  

I told him he was mine too.Another one this morning he looked at our cat and said ( Otis you can't have Cheetos right now until you eat your vegetables! 

For me, if you take leverage out of REI, you might as well start selling tomatoes and vegetables!.

We assumed it was now vacant due to the vegetation, but on trash day trash was put out and someone is living there! 

Painted the inside, refurbished floors, clean the yard from excess of vegetation What was the outcome?

They didn't clean out their dog's kennel (you can imagine what that looked like) and there were rotting vegetables strewn about all over!

Those 2 factors alone would greatly narrow focus, an area that has both good tillable for vegetable farming AND attraction for venue and STR units.
