Or do you show it to prospective tenants before you clean it (with used furniture, garbage bags, smells, and overall suggestion that the landlord may not give a damn about the upkeep by any tenant?)

So first of all what is considered SE DC is basically 25% of the entire city including even parts of Capitol Hill so neighborhoods in SE range from some of the worst areas in the entire country (Washington Highlands for example) to areas i would have zero issues walking around at 2 AM (Hillcrest for example) as far as Anacostia specifically its still very block to block and some of the housing stock is really beautiful Victorians which are on the high end of the market but may still have the most upside where as there are some less attractive houses that will still go up in value but probably at a slower clip.

So here’s one for you all..My tenant cleared out everything from her place and unloaded it all on the front curb for the garbage to pick up.. some stuff bagged, some stuff not.

One of the beauties of agriculture. 

There is a beautiful clawfoot tub that is original to the house.

You have to look past that and try to see the inner beauty. 

The Chicago building is a beautiful one that we have invested heavily in, but it may be time.

Having that 30-60k to put to work elsewhere would be beautiful!
