Adding stucco or any other improvement like kitchen or bathroom, etc does not increase value in a direct sense.

But working as a team is a powerful strategy to improve a neighborhood and make a real estate investment more profitable.

Inventories of existing homes for sale have continued to improve over the last two quarters, declining from 3.2 million in the second quarter to 2.4 million in the fourth quarter.

Rent to own by allowing someone to walk in with practically no money and give an arbitrary credit from rents is just a bad strategy for many reasons IMO.

Clients could be terminated from a program for drug use, failing to attend "improvement" classes, not earning so many work credits within a period of time and so on.

Others don't use this practice at all.
