If you turned left at corner, see small corner pasture, 50 tree fruit orchard (wifey and I planted ALL 50) AND did Deer wire all around it, and then our pond/lake we developed with an Island in the center and then more pastures and trees.

I worked in manufacturing plants in my adult life.

My idea being, it creates more of an attachment to a rental because the tenant may have a long term committment to be there to plant, care or harvest there garden.

I planted a 50 tree fruit orchard, purchased 10 steers, and put in a a stream fed pond of nearly 2 acres with island and Dock.

I currently own and manage 3 rental properties that are bringing me about 1000/month for all 3 rentals along with having a full-time job in our local chemical plant.

@Vincent Plant My 2 cents would be to take @Ross Denman advice and leverage that cash.

That plant has been such a rollercoaster for the city's morale.

Allow the batt insul to weave between the stagger studs.use resilient channels on both sides of the stud wall to fasten the drywall to.

I can see up to a 40% drop, unless the coal regulations on power plants are changed. 

You can virtually make any house an "A" house but you can't change the neighborhood, unless you have so much money you can buy the neighborhood - and even then you might have structural problems that can't be solved: sewage plant; prison; projects; etc.My strategy is always to buy a C-D house in a B neighborhood.
