i rent rooms out in my house, and once had a tenant who brought bed bugs in. i live in a 2 story, 5 bedroom house with a basement, and i successfully got rid of them with diatomaceous earth, but it was messy and time consuming. this is what we did:1. got rid of some furniture that was infested(make sure to rip or spray paint so no one grabs infested items off the curb. 2. dusted the perimeter of each room with diatomaceous earth. so the bugs couldn't travel to different rooms(2 of the bedrooms had no signs of bugs). they can also get in the walls, so we removed all switch and outlet covers and puffed the dust into the walls, then we got some foam outlet/switch inserts(which also help with insulation) , covered those in diatomaceous earth, and installed them under all the switch/outlet covers. 3. beginning with the "safe" rooms that didn't have signs of bugs, we washed all bedding, clothes, curtains, etc.

We are looking for suggestions to maximize curb appeal for this house.

Robert Hudson is this case we offered curb side due to tenants in place.

Curb appeal is important.

He advocates huge multifamily properties, rehab to a minimum (spend to improve curb appeal) and raise rents - and use an interest only loan to collect the cash flow. 5 year balloon payment so he is forced to sell or refinance.

I got the state permit for the curb cut. 

We filed immediately and the sheriff came today - carted truck loads to the curb.  

Furnished with a mix of new linens/beds/some kitchen stuff, some rather elegant pieces that were lurking in family members' closets, furniture from Craig's list/estate sale and even found on the curb, for a total of a few thousand dollars.

Not knowing what your finished product will look like, 1325 has great curb appeal for the area to really emphasize the look of a 1930's bungalow.If at all possible I'd try to speed up the timeframe as some buyers stop looking during the holidays and that's when the market usually cools down.

For instance adding new landscaping would be a CapEx, since it will increase curb appeal and perceived value in the eyes of the renter or buyer.
