Have a close watch on weeds, and keep local farmers motivated to maintain land fertility and accelerate plant growth rate

@Kayla ElliottHi Kayla - Personally, I would go with a property management company especially if you want to get out of the weeds of managing your properties, which is a large portfolio! 

Under any scenario, any state, someone who sits on their rights and lets someone get into the weeds to the benefit of the person who sat on their rights, will NOT have those "rights" enforced by the courts.  

I’d also look into using an FHA 203k renovation loan, allowing me to buy something unqualified for a standard mortgage, which would weed out a lot of competition and push the price lower.

It's not fool proof but I've weeded out a lot of people this way without spending money for marketing.

I love getting into the weeds on strategies like this.

The key points we ran into, without getting too far into the weeds:1. 

Call the lender to confirm the details of the preapproval If your property is in good condition then steps 3 and 4 might be slight overkill but it will help weeding out bad buyersHope this helps and let me know if I can help more!

I took out the existing planter boxes and made new ones, changing the layout, and poured some new gravel to make the walkway more weed resistant and add drainage.
