The landscape guy, though, had me buy the dirt, sod, plants, etc.

I did not even know that there was a plant called "peppermint."

Anyways, Rich, you're last response made much more sense regarding the fact that with condo's you get sucked into having to pay part of the cost for having the pavement redone, or bushes planted or whatever it may be.

Dan,That is great to hear.I know another investor who gives each tenant one upgrade per year - a new stove, plants a tree, patio covering, etc.

Can screen in patio as my friend might give me his hot tub and this is florida so  lots of bugs, also previous owner loved plants/trees so very jungle looking in backyard this will be cleaned up by me.So basically my question is to raise rents by ~$250-300 which I know is possible in this area how much would you be willing to put in a place to achieve this?

It is more an element of doubt that is planted in the mind of those you negoiate with as to their ability to proceed and win.

Blessings, Jerry Puckett Managing Partner New Refined Images LLC[i]Jerry,Oh Boo Hoo…unfortunately I do not….the only online tools I can think of would be Tarrant County Online (OPR) Official Public Records search…and Tarrant County Appraisal District –Tarrant County Tax Office---or whichever county you are working in…..you can purchase an Owners and Encumbrance from our Customer Service Plant..but it costs around $138.00 each I think.

We've thought about having an auction and taking highest bidder, didn't know if that was a better idea or not.This farmland you expect Corn to yield 150-200 bushel/acre, and you are probably grossing $750-$800/acre.well splitting up in 3rds you could ask $250/acre to rent, it'll cost $250/acre to plant seed/fertilizer and everything else, giving the renter projected $250/acre profit.$250/acre on $3000 acre land is 8 1/3 % interest, didn't know if that number is considered good in this part of the country (NW MO).

You want people to call you when something breaks; tenants who are going to be clean and respectful; people who are going to plant flowers and trim lawn; people who are going to think if it as a home and not a rental.

My wife suggesting planting some bushes, which I think could add some nice splashes of color and make it more welcoming.3) The exterior photo hurts it a bit, I think.
