That being said, I would advise you to make a very small investment and buy @J Scott's book on flipping.

I personally think the cyclone fence is quite ugly and would be one of the things I would want to remove if I want to improve the curb appeal, but the agent that seems to be familiar with the area advised against it as he says it's desired by renters in the area, if not for the reason alone that they may have a pet dog and it this would be their running around space.

I need some expert advise.  

I just had a buddy advise me to house havk i agree with it.

A rep at MileIQ advised me of this, and the app looks great.

Their range is roughly $180k (he said $200k is their top, but talking more with him, I advised him not to go that high considering what little I know of his financial situation).

I've read and been advised that it is legally required to have disclosures with every transaction, whether or not you're working with an agent. 

I'll start with a disclaimer: I am not a CPA/Lawyer/Financial adviser.

Also, when I bought more properties, she seemed concerned, and advised me not to buy anymore properties lest my tax preparation fee become too high.

You should be able to deduct your expenses as long as you were trying to rent the property.Since I am not aware of your personal circumstances I cannot give you specific advice, but I would advise against doing your taxes online and find a qualified professional to help you.
