Paint the door and put some colored mulch around the house.Maybe even some colored rocks

Brainstorming what I can do in addition to direct mail, naturally cold calling came up but it seems like a difficult prospect group.One more question if you'd be so kind: what have been your best probate referral sources?

The only way this works is if you can lower heating by switching to natural gas if it is available in your area.

However, if you spend a few thousand and get a well on the property, most lenders will do a land loan for 50% down since it's now considered serviced (our power was at the property line, natural gas is almost a mile away so we have propane brought in) and our credit union will do 75% LTV. 

Naturally this will only cover units that are listed but it's relatively accurate.Thanks!

We built a house in 2008 my husband and I are not contractors but my husband gathered all the man power we needed, he would go to construction sites and speak to the workers to see if they wanted to do a side job that's how we were able to get all the people we needed, we also did a lot of the work ourselves like sheet rock painting and HVAC the biggest challenge was not the fact that we had never done anything like this before or that we built in a bad area and people would steel material to buy drugs, which forced us to buy a fifth wheel trailer park it on the lot and live in it, it was the money and time we did everything cash, my husband was working a full time job 5:30am to 6 or 7 pm (he is an AC tech, and here in AZ the heat is brutal ) and doing AC side jobs after work he would get back around 10 or 11pm than he would pick up the hammer and work on this house we were building, and go to bed around 2 or 3 am sleep for a couple of hours and continue the same rutine.

You have a powerful natural motivation that many others don't have!

French doors would look more natural and probably less expensive.

Although the porcelain tiles were much more expensive than the ceramic and natural materials we looked at, they have proven to be scratch proof and look the same as they did when they were first installed.
