Tell her or him to stop trying to be a unique flower & manage that individual's expectations.

The tenant has taken excellent care of the property (his wife has also planted flowers and put extensive time into decorations and making it look great).

I expect the place to be clean but I don't expect the extras (chocolates, flowers, wine if permitted by law, etc). 

Trimming the shrubbery, mowing the lawn, and planting a few flowers can add a lot of appeal to your property.

We are looking in Windsor park and Irvington right now and some of the other areas on the east side in that general area (Little Flower, Emerson Heights).

Loreal "Lori" Flowers is a native born Chicagoan.

I ran a free ad and some guy came to get it to plant flowers in.Those deals that you got are awesome.

These include:-Painting the garage-Removing some dead trees and cleaning up the yard-Installing flower boxes in the front and under the windows-Repairing all driveway/garage floor cracks-Painting the inside of the house-Repairing appliances-Fixing a leaking roof and damaged gutter-Installing new SOD and landscapingNot quite as good as the addition and new garage cited above but all of these things reduce maintenance costs and improve the value of the properties.

Offer her lots of money, trips, and flowers :)for your non-owner occupied properties the 1031 exchange is available to sell and buy more investment real estate as long as it has been your intent to hold for productive use.  

I love to garden (flowers and vegetables) and raising my own eggs and roasters sounded like a logical extension.
