I have had tham in the past and they only appeal to a certain type of individual.I have founf most people do not prefer them due to lack of natural sunlight, low ceilings, egress issues and some other issues.The biggest positivei sellin gpoint for me was the cheaper price I can offer them compared to a regular apt.I assume you are talking about a basement that is part of a ranch or colonial or cape Cod that has standard living space above ground?

I'm a fan of mature landscaping as it can add appeal to a property depending on the buyer of course.

My mom made a few upgrades to the house, added a deck, ripped up the carpet and added hardwood floors, and I'm impressed by the curb appeal my step dad did with the flowers and bushes put into the front and back yards.

If you are a newish landlord, select a property that will appeal to the people you would want to rent to, not saying all people in a war zone are bad folks, but would most people want to live there?

The houses where I want to live all have very low cap rates - and are therefore not very appealing from a BP-like investment perspective.So I rent a house where I want to live while I buy real estate where I think the investments are good.

If they determine (for some reason) that the buyer gets their money back, you need to appeal, at which point it will likely go in front of a judge.If the broker doesn't agree to give you the EM or issue a 15-day letter, you should be reporting them to the GA RE Commission.I've had situations like this, and it was a pain in the butt...but ultimately, when the broker realizes that you won't just forget about it and gets threatened with commission action, they will generally do the right thing.

Etc etc. you can see how those that maybe do not get the same return at home but can handle the properties themselves.. can save 20 to 30% of annual fixed cost's thereby making their local purchase's more appealing than they first thought.

Most tax assessments  will not drop unless you appeal. 

I totally understand that you want a flip to be neutral so that it can appeal to more buyers.

My family just bought this house and we are trying to find ways to improve its curb appeal so we can rent it out ASAP.
