There is a waiting list to rent at $450 per month.ExpensesOwner pays water/sewer/garbage pickup, $200 month average.Lawn mowing $35 per week, plus greentree sprays and fertilizes 4 times a year for $100 each treatment. 

The amount of monthly qualifying rental income (or loss) that is considered as part of the borrower's total monthly income (or loss) — and its treatment in the calculation of the borrower's total debt-to-income ratio — varies depending on whether the borrower occupies the rental property as his or her principal residence.If the rental income relates to the borrower’s principal residence: The monthly qualifying rental income (as defined above) must be added to the borrower’s total monthly income.

Takes about 2 hours and costs $100 and my treatment is good for 20-30 years if left undisturbed. 

Recessed lights, hardwood flooring, white walls ( to look more spacious), landscape the backyard, maybe some fake marble look alike countertops because the ones they have at the moment are ugly.
