Sure it costs a little more but especially in a dining room it makes sense not to have carpet.4) I would also do something about the lawn and maybe add some red flowers or something to give it a little bit of color (maybe some mulch and bushes).

.- I like to set out vases of fake flowers, and towels in the bathroom.

One of my current male tenants sends me a big beautiful bouquet of flowers every year for Christmas.

Examples of areas are Little Flower, Christian Park, Irvington, Emerson Heights, Fountain Square, Bates-Hendricks, Garfield park, etc.

My posts tend to be matter of fact which doesn't read like rainbows and flowers.  

Or Flower shop?

After handing over the keys i went to work and hated being there, since then i have been obsessed with finding a way to get my next property and have spent the last couple weeks listening to podcast and reading the blogs.One thing that i did (right or wrong) that i was really happy with was i bought my tenants flowers ( i was going to include wine but didnt want to give them the wrong idea), made a big binder with emergency numbers, long list of every nearby restaurants, local activities and even flyers to local events.

Find a locally grown; pastured raised; organically certified; Lawyer... seriously find the best in the field; in your areas and become his or her office wife, husband.... you're flowers better hit the desk before her husbands!

I think I'd send one of them flowers and sign it from the other person.  

I own a rental townhouse that is governed by an HOA (yes, I know many people don’t like to buy houses in HOA communities, but where I live there is little choice).When I purchased the home almost 4.5 years ago, the previous owner had removed the groundcover from the small front yard, and planted bushes and flowers and mulched the whole thing—the yard gets little sun and most of the other homes on the row have weeds for the front yard instead of grass.
