Is it difficult to do? or

The only repairs we are doing is a major complete bathroom remodel, new sheet rock, window and door in the kitchen, new heating system, and 3k in repairs done to the electric.

There are some people who buy materials that later get sold at a garage sale or on ebay.

The same with the driveway, garage, garden/yard and anything else.

The maintance man told me everything was working just fine and i should keep the doors shut and the blinds pulled over the windows .

If I were going to use this method, I would simply knock on the door and ask them if their house is for sale and how much they want?

They welded the doors and buried it.

I can't stand watching $950 go out the door every month for rent.

In some cases there were doors that could be locked or a wall that could be added or removed.

Lighting and security screen doors or access control for common areas; removing overgrowth that provides hiding places or pest havens; access area, curb, and hazard paint striping; these all add to curb appeal as well.
