To add, you can get a maintenance audit which makes recommendations for physical plant repairs and replacements, that should be the biggest cost should a tenant vacate.

Hi Todd,That's an attractive looking building.Find a good stable tenant, and possibly offer some of the build out needed (if you have to--you may not have to).Just from a first glance, some tenants that come to mind would be:1) Auto Insurance Office.2) Pizza shop, owner operator, take out and delivery only.3) Dental Office (probably with a repaint to tan with brown trim or etc...).4) Dry Cleaner, drop off and pick up, where clothes are sent to main plant elsewhere by truck.5) Daycare, with attractive fencing if outside play area and parking are both available.6) Local Government or local utility branch office for payments.7) Meeting hall for the town Elks, Moose, VFW, Masons, etc...8) Realtors office.9) PO Box Rentals.10) Co-working space.11) Local Trendy Coffee house.12) Office HQ for your local Democrat or Republican or other party.Good Luck!

Go to drought resistant small plants that grow slow and are native to your area—leave lots of space between so you can put in flowers when staging.Find a small landscaper who owns and works their business with a tight route.

If you're going to put up a porch and a great backyard, I just wouldn't go overboard on the plantings/fencing/porch work so that in the future you can remove the upgrades and develop there.

Luckily for me the Tesla plant isn't too far from where I live in 78721 (East Austin).

Then there is suddenly a drop in the level of communication and responsiveness, I switch management companies, and then discover that my properties suffered a good deal of damage due to faulty management.

We also made the yard look a ton nicer and longer-lasting by doing xeriscaping, planting, etc.

If the current rents are $1200 per floor and market rent is $1500 per floor, there will be some pain and suffering raising the rents, but LONG TERM the house has more value.

Hi all - I have a SFH with a modest yard, mostly well-mulched and with native plants that are drought-friendly.
