For a second I thought you might be designing patio furniture or something. $1600 or so should be doable in certain pockets.

Then fill the rest of the way with clear gravel, not dirt along the perimeter a plastic drain membrane should be placed on top of the footer to at least an inch above the surface of the new cement floor.

We have done a good job on the house and really improved the back yard and the tenants patio.

List of comps in the would be great.Disclosures: any known issues with foundation, termite, mold, unapproved square footages (some turns a patio livable spaces, but did not get it approved by the county.

I keep the front and back patio door wide open and let them walk around themselves. 

The duplex is high end 3br 2.5ba with garage and extra land for possibly building more units (The lot is 100'x250'). 2 floors with a garage and  balcony patio for each unit.

Not bad to buy two condos with plastic and get them paid off in a little over 12 months.  

My fiancé and I are looking to build a stamped concrete patio in our backyard as well as excavate the current patio.  

It needs a new patio.

If the fence is your proceed, it you removed it and wanted it gone it's yours if you do new it's yours, but I'f  make sure you put up some plastic temporary fencing if they have a dog, so their pit bull doesn't come over and greet you..
