The marketing was attracting the wrong profile of buyers over, and over, and over.

Letting others know about BiggerPockets and attracting more investors with great ideas and techniques only improves the site that much more for all of us.

Here, I couldn't get any more money for my rental with it, but I could rent faster & probably attract a better tenant with it.

Yes, I am the landlord.The rental contract expires on May and I 'ld like to have an attractive back yard when the house will be on the market again.I am not an gardening expert, but I think the best time for an heavy shrubs trimming is now (winter), then I could ask to tenant to keep them trimmed.

Would this property be attractive to another investor assuming the tenant would stay?

It also makes real estate more attractive to foreign buyers.

Owners often can't afford to make the updates or repairs necessary to make their house attractive to today’s buyers or afford to pay the thousands of dollars the realtor gets at closing.

@Michael Miles - since you did ask for advice, I suggest you shorten your posts and get to the point quickly to attract more responses.My thoughts go along with 'take it off the market and tie it up.'

The companies I've talked to are doing a brisk business.As a private rehab lender, I think you can attract all the business you want by modestly underpricing HML companies, offering 10-12% and 2 pts, for example, for 6 mth terms (it makes sense to differentiate terms a bit based on strength of deal and experience of rehabber).

If you have a book of clients, then you would be attractive to any legitimate firm working in the secondary market.
