@andy @Andy M.undefined hey Andy I found this post through an email from bigger pockets and your link lead me to your YouTube page.

I came across BP through one of Brandon's youtube videos one day while searching for videos on how to become a day trader.

I eventually got it to work with a great deal of fiddling around.Any improvements to the posting window would be a big help as I have had trouble with this before.

If it's from a doorknob, buy one of those self-stick plastic circles, These days you can youtube about any little repair for advice.

On the surface this seems very good, to improve the neighborhood and discourage slumlords and problem tenants.  

I have, but will not again, buy a property that has had substantial improvements done by the homeowner.

Brian Gibbons, thank you; I have watched a few of your youtube videos, as well as read "real estate rewind".

No matter what you do or try to do, you will never be able to improve your neighbor's property.  

From some articles I have read though it sounds like exterior upgrades tend to have pretty good ROI, replacing the front door with a nice new steel one in a color that works well with the house, and new siding (or stucco or brick treatment) can be quite a good improvement in the look, that usually has pretty good ROI.

I just read books and watch YouTube videos.
