Sometimes there is no way around firing someone but if the relationship is salvageable, that may be the best path forward.

She pays on time and is taking good care of the yard.

Find houses needing work or have long grass in yards or if you want small multifamily look for places that have 2 gas meters or electric meters. write down addresses, look up owners and try to contact one of them every day.

I will spare you details like falling out of contract due to windows being inexplicably nailed shut, but for comedic relief I will highlight the pain culminating in complaints that there were random, free-roaming chickens pecking around our yard and putting off potential buyers due to a negligent neighbor.We ended up needing to take it up with the city to reign these fowls in, an action that caused the spiteful neighbor to tank a number of our other showings.The end result of all this was losing at least $30k (and probably more when it was all said and done), locking up the capital for ten months, and dealing with a two month long, stressful process of trying to sell and falling out of contract three times for various, silly reasons.

Nice fenced yard.

The property also has a lot of junk accumulated from several of the tenants in the front/back yards, garage, and even sides of the lot. 

On the other hand we have property that is across from a lumber yard.

In my area a dirt yard would be a nightmare so not sure how it would be in the desert. 

If so, are there contingencies to help you salvage that?

The outside needs 3-4 large trees cut down as they are rotten and leaning over the home, front and back deck/porch need to be replaced due to the wood being rotten and steps broken, house needs to be cleaned and pressure washed, front and back yard needs to be fixed as everything is overgrown it looks like a jungle, as well as a few minor things.
