That may well prove to be a more fruitful proposition than trying to sell a house with an uncooperative tenant, and dog hair.

You have the right to the fruits of your investment.And thank GOD you couldn't get them Section 8.  

I was thinking of a gift card for a dinner or maybe a place like Target for supplies in a card or gift basket.

It makes them feel involved.This only went wrong once when some old bat kept calling me about anything "they are playing basket ball in the road" "err yeah, that's kids do" "but the bouncing of the ball hurts my ears" "foxtrot off biddy".

Also, for less than $40, you could buy faux decorative black hinges and handles to add some interest to the garage door.Then, like others have mentioned, a white window box filled with colorfull flowers, a pair of shepherd hooks with two matching flower baskets, and some dark mulch, would add punch.I used photoshop to create a picture of what I'm describing.Best of luck with your flip!

Make money and have a piece of mind, while enjoying the fruits of your labor

Look up "fruits of the land" which is the right of economic pursuits. 

When tenants move in, I always have a small care package for them, some basic cleaning supplies and maybe a laundry basket.

It is hard to decide but I've decided not to put all my eggs in one basket. 

Where I am, it is my opinion that multi-unit properties are less risk, in that, all of your eggs are not in the same basket.
