If it's a domestic water line leak, in Philadelphia we have shutoffs at the curb in the sidewalk.

It's a wide range, but the curb appeal of my 4 bed 2ba house isnt great.

Maybe if your spent a ton of money and got a subdivision approved and installed - roads, curbs, percs/septics, utilities - then you would have buildable lots to sell.Ideas:1.

Improve the curb appeal.

So, before I address all of the points I read in this thread, can we agree on the following:- All properties in a given neighborhood will all have different market values,- The simplification of those values could be placed into the following three (3) categories;   * AS-IS (No deferred maintenance has been addressed AND curb-appeal is seriously lacking)   * Enhanced (all deferred maintenance has been addressed and some newer "creature comforts" installed)   * Optimal (highest priced, highest and best use dwelling in the neighborhood)If you agree to these simplified characterization, then the following might be agreeable: @Randy Thomason - [Good and Bad Wholesaler, Double Closings]There are good and bad wholesalers, just like there are good and bad real estate agents and brokers.

Renting a multifamily apartment is really no different than selling a house, it must have curb appeal. 

The problem that I have with them is that after I asked them to no longer offer move-in discounts, they decided to kick me to the curb.

The city plants a tree and grass in the curb strip/berm near your property.

We have slowly upgraded the property by adding in a new driveway, walkway, new duct work under the house, updated the landscaping for curb appeal, installed recessed lighting and ceiling fans throughout the house and repainted all the interior rooms.

I found a house in which the numbers look good but my real estate agent has told me it has really bad curb appeal and that it would take longer to sell.
