For your lake vacation rental...fishing equipment, a non motorized boat, a well stocked kitchen with all utensils and gadgets, a wine fridge or a kegorator with a craft 1/6 bbl, gas or charcoal grill, chimenea, cornhole game, a SMART tv, an accurate pellet gun with pellets or a scoped single shot .22 or .17HMR, some adult movies and a blue ray player in the master bedroom with an HDTV, bubble bath if you have a tub or jacuzzi, an indoor/outdoor sound system, some mountain bikes, binoculars, some games like trivial pursuit/electronic darts, two single shot shotguns and a skeet thrower with skeet, an outdoor firepit, a "help yourself" herb and vegetable garden, tiki lights, a small trebuchet for the kids, some basic tools like a socket set/wrenches/screwdrivers, and finally the most important thing...mosquito repellant.

I'm sure it will change again, and that's not a bad thing considering the economy, demographics, needs and desires of our population are constantly evolving as well and we need to always adapt to the shifting landscape.

They justified it by saying that newer houses that are being added to their neighborhood are at around $170k.They also said the repairs needed are paint and landscaping, which I doubt.

Thought it was bad enough the C21 Broker (listing and selling, dual agent broker) never updated the listing when it Pending, In Contract, Nor Sold.2 weeks after we closed, agents and prospective buyers were walking onto the property and into while we were painting etc, saying they were just taking a brief look, asking for the owner, etc, so we notified the Broker to make sure update the listing as SOLD.Broker replied in December saying it would be updated.Now  into 2nd month following sale, C21 broker still has it For Sale on C21 website and the MLS.. which means going on 2mos of inquisitives knocking, walking all over the landscape, etc.

Get a quote for insurance and any contract services like landscaping that you'll be responsible for. 

Plenty of parking in the back which could be leased out to an expanding landscaping company, or winter storage for boats, RV's, etc.

I think the home is adorable as is, I would spend my rehab dollars on making the inside really great, plus add some landscaping to the outside to cover the foundation.

We've added solar to the whole property, whole house water filtration system, drought tolerant landscaping and tankless water heaters.

That being said we are primarily limiting this first property to the Lower Garden District over to Uptown.
