No curbs if possible.

Just looking for some ideas to freshen up the look of the front and give it some nice curb appeal, it's located in a historic district of town with many other older homes around it.We are taking out the concrete steps (left in the picture) and putting a new staircase on the right of the porch, it will come down 4 stairs to a landing and turn 90% and have more stairs to the driveway.I'm thinking raised beds on the rest of the lawn-full sun all day and steep.Thanks all!

I have to raise private equity and the private equity can act fast (a day or so) but typically wants to leverage with hard money as to boost cash on cash returns. 

But I look at that and figure I can make maybe $60-$70k in profit tax free after living in it for two years and thus boost my investing power.But I like the combo idea.

Good morning BP Community, I was wondering if a front garden would affect the curb appeal of a MFH rental.

Hi all,I own a multi-family property in Los Angeles (Boyle Heights) and am looking for ways to boost my income.

The curb appeal and possibly value will surely go up while you're living there.

You could probably do something nice with landscaping for less that will improve curb appeal. 

Also, if you don't know the area decently well, you may buy in the wrong part of town and come to realize that your improvements didn't boost the value past an area ceiling of which you were unaware because your pre-purchase comps were in a more desirable neighborhood.

However, once the HELOC is paid off and if I can boost rents to 675 per unit ASAP, would be an additional $400.
