David L. looking at the 2 pics in the other thread I'd consider stopping any more improvements other than truly necessary repairs.

Their real-time MLS comps show time on market, original asking price, pics, and are mappable.

Including logging in, navigating, scanning in the mortgage statement, entering the transaction into my bookkeeping software - I can pay a mortgage in about 5 minutes.  

The resolution of the pics don't fill the frame on sites like Zillow, so your pics (and the house) look smaller and dinky compared to the competition. 

Even a crude drawing here may help us help YOU with design,,,and pics are helpful. 

My investor (end buyer) sees the numbers, comps, pics etc2.  

Distance is wider than it appears in the pic.

I have seen other investors stumble by only using yard signs & craigslist, overpricing, or allowing their agent to post rentals on mls with no pics, or only one pic taken at 50 mph..

I'd certainly check the foundation as leaks will flow all the wat down, there could be foundation problems as well adding to the problem.The facing of bricks chipping off is from freezing and thawing over the years, moistue, just humidity can enter brick and cause facings to chip off, not so much of a structural issue as cosmetic.That's my first guess based on pics I saw, you need to get someone out there with hands on.

Here's a cheap "free" way to get a surveillance camera.It DOES require Wifi but will detect motion/take a pic and send you a email if it gets tripped.
