Just trying to work out ways to shore it up so the freshly laid dirt begins to compact in place versus getting carried off during spring rains. 

That's forced appreciationAn example I have done is when there is additional unused land put in a laundromat or storage that you rent back to the tenants, immediate property value increase.

I also added storage units, additional parking, garage spaces and a laundry facility.

I renovated 12 units, started totally fresh, without tenants.

:"The landlord must send a notice, to the place the tenant is expected to receive it, that (1) describes the property in sufficient detail for the tenant to identify it, (2) advises him that he has 10 days (15 days if the notice is mailed) to claim it, (3) appraises him of reasonable storage costs, and (4) tells him where to claim the property.The notice must also inform him that unclaimed property of value will be sold at a public sale and property believed to be worth less than $500 will be kept, sold, or destroyed.After deductions for storage, advertising, and the sale, landlords must turn over to the county any residual proceeds."

If you end up wanting to sell anything use the house as a base of operations, lugging the stuff to a store or off site storage will get old and I am not sure it makes a ton of sense. 

My wife and I decided to sell it to pay off credit card debt so we could start fresh plus it’s been kind of stressful having a rental so far away.

Hi BiggerPockets,Hoping I can get some help analyzing a deal on storage units, since my niche has primarily been in smaller multi-family units. 2 questions:1.

Should I use a fresh coat of paint for the entire place or does the paint on the walls look okay with the color scheme.

They had cajoled their elderly aunt into letting them stay in the garage, and she was definitely glad to see them gone.I then heard they just moved to a storage shed facility for $90/month to do the same.
