Our rentals include older homes with hand-done plaster textures that are hard to replicate when patching.We are in our first round of renters so time will tell if this is a good method or not.  

Start with these 4 steps:1. contact a Real Estate Attorney who will gladly help with the writing sales contacts and will close the sale for you.   2. contact a Mortgage Broker & Bank Loan Officer to refer potential buyers to so they can get pre-approved if they don't already have a legit qualification Letter   3. contact one of the sign post companies to come out and plant the typical real estate post in the yard to hang your FSBO sign 4. have a FSBO sign professionally made with a rider sign underneath By Appointment ONLY with your cell number.5. put together a flyer with pictures and info, sales price, etc. to email potential buyersInitially, you'll get all the neighbors calling, acting like potential buyers to see what you are asking for the property. 

We are constantly getting stupid letters...trash cans left out too long, cars not parked all the way in the driveway, and my favorite letter from a couple months ago - potted plants by front door were overgrown.

They'll be standing with their feet planted when their buddy shouts from 20 feet away and they'll LEAVE THEIR FEET PLANTED AND "SPIN", which tears the composition right off.

Then he'd call and tell me to pick up a few bags of mulch, 8 or 10 shrubs to plant and bring my weekwhacker, chainsaw and big ladder.

It plants a seed about passive income. 

Growing the plant has become commoditized, it would seem.

@Michael Plante when you say "south side of St Pete", where exactly are you referring?

In my experience “buying” in the inner city rarely involves the exchange of cash.Regardless of where you rent my concern would be that you have planted a seed in an otherwise good tenants head.

They seem like great markets for buy and hold strategies due to the nearby plants.
