Do you go to the Kia plant, walk the line and shake your fist saying why aren't all these autos listed for sale, look at all this "inventory"? 

Right now, I'm focusing on brand awareness via legally planted signs and my current main project is designing the most efficient system to follow-up with people on a quarterly basis for my small-scale business looking to get 2/3 deals a month.

Have the AC checked out and rehabbed if needed.Ask her if she wants new living room and bedroom carpet, if so, apartment tan.Paint the walls inside if she would like that.Take her drapes down and take them to the cleaners for a spruce up.Redo the exterior paint to a modern color, and keep an eye on the roof.Have the yard spruced up if it needs it, plantings cut back, trees trimmed.Since she is a friend of the family, I say make it nicer place for her, since she was so nice to you.I would probably leave the kitchen alone, other than a new vinyl floor.And swapping out the bathtub for a walk in shower might be a lifestyle enhancement for her (with ADA grab bars).Of course you don't "Have" to do any of this.

After you are rich & famous you send me a yucca plant. 

Others are intangibles like salesmen ship.. that was my strength I learned from some of the best land salesmen on the planted and learned how to close.. thats the key.

I want to learn as much as I can and save money until I’m ready to jump in.That being said I currently work at a manufacturing plant.

I’ll look for some creative ways to incorporate some more plants in the space.

Intel is investing $20 billion to build chip manufacturing plants in Licking County, which is projected to create 30,000 new jobs.

Avoid high tension power lines, main busy streets, flying lead, homeless people, pawn shop neighborhoods, train tracks, garbage dumps, factories, airport flight paths, sink holes, mud slides, beef rendering plants, streets with broken windows and broken street lights, drug dealers and girls that work the streets.Why do you ask?  

If possible, plant a good cover crop (grass).
