I was thinking of doing asphalt right down the middle of the property line and eventually make an easement for the driveway, And then in front of each house lay concrete for an actual driveway to each house...I really dont want to flip.

Perhaps you can send a complaint to the seller agent's firm/broker, maybe even the licensing board if you have concrete proof. 

Poured concrete or concrete block? 

And a few (3) rentals is a good track record to flaunt.A lot of people like to deal with "polish" in real estate and finance, and while I don't know what you sound like in person or on the phone, perhaps there is some issue in presenting yourself?  

I'd hate to throw more concrete at the problem, but would you be able to add a parking pad right after the sidewalk? 

Hi Ryan, welcome to the site. work, save and polish your credit. open account at a credit union. 2 is even better. then get a secured credit card for credit only!

Will require some concrete, brick and roof work.

Hi @Carol Donaldson,You should be able to use any company that does concrete and masonry work.  

I would say the first thing you should do is make some goals for yourself, like concrete numbers -> I want to have $X in X months doing at least X deals a month.

Or put in some landscape rocks concreted into the ground.
