I'm flipping a 3 bed 1.5 bath 1206 sqf with attached 2 car garage.

It doesn't frame the door at all and accentuates the carport.Replacing/painting siding is too risky, so adding a tree to the left to hide the carport post and distract the eye would help.Adding a tall planter on the other side of the drive where your garden bed ends would help as well.Or a hanging planter off of the two posts - driveway left and porch left.Rick

I noticed in many franchise circular offerings they were going to nickel and dime me to death.

There are always outliers but mostly likely your tenant pool are going to be D  to C+ if you're lucky. 

I have a 2 Bed, 2 Bath property with wood floors, so the main concern with dogs is how they will damage my Lazyboy couches, or how they tax my cleaner. 

That just explained everything. 2 bed/ 2 bath.

When I lived at Silverado CC in Napa Valley the resort relies on the private owner condo's as there over night accommodation's so folks buy those and they are run like a hotel.. and again its usually break even at best.. however  about every 5 years to stay in the hotel program they require you to completely update your condo.. new furniture beds etc etc.

Thank you Curtis, I posted my ads yesterday for a 2 bed and also 1 Studio.

I have put some time into learning some Spanish, and can speak enough to get through a "how many beds and baths and how much is the rent" conversation.If things get really tough, I impose on one of my Spanish speaking friends to help.If the building is big enough that you would hire a manager, hire someone's who's bilingual.
