@Bryce Callihan - if the lady's name is Fay Fattaey then skip all of them. 

Then you walk into a space that feels light, open, modernized, and larger, the 1,283 sq ft. starts to feel like a 1,600 sq ft. home, but at the lower price range.

All the neighbors are aware this house used to be “the cat lady’s” years ago, with dozens of cats.

I like the way it looks now, the smooth tans, the overgrown shade trees, the modern facade, and a three car garage, it looks rentable and peaceful (a nice HOME vs a house).I did a mockup for you, mainly focusing on a varnished gate, varnished front doors, less mature plantings and getting rid of the big dirty (sap dripping) pine tree over the left driveway (so it would not drip sap onto the new BMW=7 Series in the pic).These kind of things would fit in, in an upscale area, but not necessarily be better, just different.It looks like a nice house for entertaining, lots of parking. 

most of us pay $400 a year and I would expat that experience at that price to include a modern app.does anyone know status of when a BP app will be released?

We upgraded the property to match modern standards of renters in the area, and we will later convert the garage into a legal JADU.

To maximize your total returns over a period of time, focus on markets with growing populations, growing jobs, good incomes and modern/diverse economies and industries.

When buying a house that needs repair or modernization, homebuyers usually have to follow a complicated and costly process.

So the only strategy we have is to buy a property at near of full-price and then bring the building up to modern Leed 140 Platimum Standards to make the property worth 30% more.

Rented to same lady for 14 years.
