I was doing gardening work for him today and he mentioned that he wanted to pave grass in the backyard and plant scrubs in the front yard.

It has been neglected for over a decade and this was especially true for the front and back yard.

Much of the area the goats once foraged has been destroyed and the property has a huge 100-yard red stripe painted across the center, a fire retardant called Phos-Check.

I would personally try for a Quadraplex, it is my favorite investment property for a multitude of reasons (One roof, one yard, one veneer).

I did more admin tasks  but got to pass some savings along to a first time buyer couple for not having  to fix the gate or gutters, repair the yard, replace the dishwasher, etc.  

Be nice to salvage them if possible...but I don't know enough about floors to know if 1) They're salvageable at all 2) If I will have to tear any decent flooring out to get to the subfloor to replace it.

A sign in the front yard is always a good way to generate interest as well.You don't need to wait until after closing to build your file on the current tenant.

Carefully remove anything that's salvageable and that may be usable in one of my other units, or in a future unit, and have it brought to my storage garage. 2.

Vacancies will typically be low as demand is high for family homes with yards, the tenant base is typically highly-educated and the local courts are not all that friendly to tenants who invariably make six figures and, thus, have a hard time explaining why they are not selling the Audi or Lexus to pay the rent.    

I told them it would be large and take up most of the yard.
