I'm in Winter Garden and in the last 9 months the property values have made it more difficult to find a good deal as far as cash flow.  

I guess you could haul in water and put a garden on them.You will likely see 100s of people at Harris County, so yes, typically very competitive.Get there early....learn the rules...read the paperwork...network network network....ask lots of questions of the people there and find the experts...to learn more.

@Andrew Schrader I have personally always gone with the cheap stuff from home depot that is about $1.89 a square foot.

For example, my lease (standard CAR residential lease) has a clause that states that the "Tenant shall maintain the garden, landscaping, trees, and shrubs" (there's also a blank area below it that states "Tenant shall maintain_____________" where you could easily add in a part about picking up after their pet).  

I have used Trafficmaster Cerimica from Home Depot for my own home.

Lately home depot prices on shaker style cabs aren't terrible.

I'm sure there's an acronym somewhere but it really doesn't matter.But, we've also done some deals that probably aren't as great as they could have been, we could have waited and got better deals, but we have one small problem - we don't have a crystal ball.So we play the game the best we can today, rather than worry about the deal that may or may not happen tomorrow.However, of the bad deals, although they may not be as good as we want it opens doors (both physically and metaphorically).For instance, we got to a size of SFRs (with the bad deals - grass still needs cutting) where my wife employed a gardener for two months whilst I was away.

Unfortunately I do not have any before/after pics because unless I take a pic for something to fix at home depot im pretty bad about taking pictures though I feel like I should be doing that to present to future investors.

I bought most of the regular supplies at Home Depot and looked for anyway I could save.

Those guys stand outside Home Depot wants $150 a day of temp labor work.
