We have a single fence that divides our parking pads and he has the hoop set right in the middle.

If concrete I was thinking about doing the ribbon driveway; 2 strips of concrete with grass in the middle.

IMO, I've seen it before.There is a catch 22, but RE types run off the middle class and lower income persons, not even the top 10%.

I don't know how familiar you are with the area, but Jacksonville is the largest city in area in the contiguous US, and there are many neighborhoods, all with varying rental rates.Getting SFHs for 30k (one way or the other) is one of my goals/rules of thumb - reality is much more complicated.For example, in the Murray Hill neighborhood (middle class, not too ghetto), it's possible to pay 30k for a fixer that doesn't really need a huge overhaul.
