It may take months and a lot of work to get this straightened out which is why I recommend you educate yourself and prepare for the worst-case scenario before starting.Another option: paint numbers on the parking spots or curb.

Each time you receive a positive review on AirBnB your listing will automatically get boosted to the top or near the top of search results for a short period of time.  

I also get to upgrade all of the trim to smart trim, which helps with curb appeal. 

This could boost your cash-flow and ease up PM stress (everything under one roof). 

Those thinking of selling, in the near future, should focus on curb appeal, etc!

Really the only thing we did to the house was add mulch to the landscaped areas to give it some curb appeal, then cleaned the inside.

If the tenant ignores that date, the sheriff can set a date for a set-out (the tenant gets to hang out but the cop car while your maintenance team hauls everything to the curb).  

I can ask them to raise their hands for something like "who knows what a FICO score is" and get maybe 1 or 2 out of 20 (I know, I know, but I am working on it...).Rather than any specific recommendation on an action, I would just keep boosting your financial knowledge/foundation and earning power, and I think the exact date of your home purchase or structure of a given loan or qualifications will fall into place.To that end, the books and personalities (Dave Ramsey) mentioned are a good start.

The property may require a lot of work to get any curb appeal.

In many neighborhoods, if you put the old one out on the curb either the day before trash day or on the weekend, a scrapper will grab it at no cost to you.
