@Laura Williams that looks like good work.  

If an agent lets you be an "assistant" because they don't want to take the time to send you comps they're probably risking their license.I'd second what Laura recommends.

@Laura Epstein I and a few other investors friends of mine use General Ledger. www.getledgers.comAllows you to have automatic transaction downloads via connections to your banks and credit cards.

@Laura Luloh If rentals like yours are rare for the area people will deal with laundry in the garage to get their kids in good schools in my experience.

Hi Laura,I personally prefer to live in house with no trees blocking it's view from the front yard, but a lot of people (as you can see from the posts) like trees in the yard (some like the house almost totally obfuscated and will plant even more).So if it were mine, I'd leave the trees for that reason, and just darken the shutters to a dark chocolate color, leave the paint as is (if it's in average condition), leave the fake well because it seems to match the structure and not detract from it (if new owners don't like it they can remove it easily) and take the shrubs down to foundation height to make the house look bigger.But if I were living there myself, those trees would be firewood for that fireplace (something your Realtor could point out to prospective buyers).

Hi Laura,Nice job!

@Laura Tokgozoglu Thank you so much for responding!
