Areas near Garden of the Gods work really well, as do areas near the Air Force Academy where families are constantly visiting.

Needless to say, they changed their mind and I was out of $2500 and they had a fresh start.

PR  tracks foreclosures MLS does not.PR has google earth and other neat functionality that MLS does not.I think any one in the bizz really needs both.I just snagged a strict foreclosure in lake Oswego OR because of PR.. it was not on MLS paid 230k for it.. refied 60 days later with a fresh bank appraisal at 600k... very tough and complicated path to closing but we got it done 2 days before they would lose it.Highly recommend PR  the price is a non event its less than a few cups of coffee a month..not even something to be close to relevant in deciding if you want it.

I have never done quite that, but when renters move in the spring, we like to give them a $30 discount on rent for "planting flowers" in the garden out front.  

Yard Maintenance: "Yard" means all lawns, shrubbery, bushes, flowers, gardens, trees, rock or other landscaping, and other foliage on or encroaching on the Property or on any easement appurtenant to the Property, and does not include common areas maintained by an owners’ association. "Maintain the yard” means to perform activities such as, but not limited to: (a) mowing, fertilizing, and trimming the yard; (b) controlling pests and weeds in the yard; and (c) removing debris from the yard.Unless prohibited by ordinance or other law, Tenant will water the yard at reasonable and appropriate times, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, will maintain the yardX.

When you have a regular maid, a regular gardener or even a regular handyman, who are not independent contractors, licensed and insured, in case of accident, they "may" come after you based on the "regularity" of their employment.

Now if I had a high(er) quality production video that I viewed as a buyer and the property was freshly rehabbed, pretty, turn-key, etc. then I would probably ask for permission to use it. 

When I was working on the house he’d bring vegetables from his garden over for me and we’d talk for a while.

Somethings we do are offer grocery gift cards for our tenants when they move in, supply a community garden space where tenants can plant their own vegetables, and ask great tenants if they have any friends or relatives that would be interested in living in the building (traits are often shared among the five people you are closest with).Closing thoughts: it is always cheaper to have a vacant unit than one that is filled with a bad tenant who is looking for the cheapest rent.

Where to live depends upon their personalities, of course, but I would recommend--for a couple working at those two hospital in the city, to live either Uptown, the Garden District, the Lower Garden District, the Irish Channel, Mid-City, or Bayou St.
