Painted white brick (if it’s a flip), operable wooden shutters, landscaping etc.

in my opinion, since this backyard looks like it is very uneven, and the backyard is not so big, you can build a deck that is just high enough so it can clear all the uneven ground, then fill in the rest with something low maintenance like gravel.The walls you can do a wooden fence or something that would be even less expensive, you can do a bamboo fence. 

The house has a wooden storage shed in that back yard.

Its the same thing in cheap markets were they sell say 130k new construction.. those deals usually have 10 to 15% gross margins so they are making 13 to maybe 20k if they are really lucky net profit but getting good leverage and pumping out 50 in a year.We will build about 40 homes this year.. so while we don't hit homeruns we make it up in volume and god willing the market holding and the star's aligning and every other lucky charm we can pull .Like @Will Barnard even though it was an outlier for us we did a 5 million dollar flip and made 1.5 on it.. but that was not something we could recreate .. and I don't have the stones to do that these days.. with my cheaper homes I know my bank will let me make them into rentals if they don't sell and with the rents the way they are they would cash flow or be a tiny bit negative as we rode out the market... 

SW thats on the west/north side of the river is good, the tiny sliver of SW on the south/east side of the river not so much.The public housing in SW near the stadiums is an issue, and will likely remain so. 

Anothr person told me that the vinyl whill shatter into tiny pieces when it is pulled out?

Another market, just because my brother and I stayed at one are Tiny Houses. 

Marriott has a chain of 7 new "feature" hotels in the world targeting Millennials providing social environments on the main level and tiny hotel rooms.

I don't recommend someone starting out in their backyard if it's a teeny tiny town or a ghetto obviously but if you want to invest "virtually" I'd say Denver, Colorado is the best market simply because of the appreciation, demand and population/job growth.

Tiny scanner works for me, along with a spreadsheet tracker for expenses.
