My pool is always sparkling clean and I charge for usage to offset the gas costs. 

Thanks for your thoughts on "Sparkle City" as they call it, great info!

I also give my housekeeper a small bonus every time a guest checks that the house was sparkling clean in their review.

Market rent is about $2,200 right now, and could go as high as $3,000 if I added some sparkle (or an additional bedroom).My wife and I wants to buy it from him, but we're trying to figure out the best way to do it to reduce taxes (property / assessment, income, excise) and puts us all in a better financial situation (short-term and long-term).If they were to sell it on the open market for $300k, they'd incur 10% selling costs (closing costs, realtor commissions, excise tax) of $30k and get $270k in cash before taxes. 

I'd be happy to come over and show you my tricks for getting the light fixtures sparkling again.

The US side had gone the quick cash industrial route many many years ago and now pays the price, the Canadians took the slow growth tourism way and are a real sparkling gem.

If it came down to emotions over numbers my daughter would be my designer and all my hones would be pretty pink with sparkles....

Because the median sale price still sparkles at $288,750, marking a 7.1% increase from the year before.

So far, everyone of those items makes it rent faster rent, makes the tenants appreciate the nice home, attracts higher quality people for those neighborhoods (nicest house on the block mentality), and all those things help to deter maintenance (unlike fixing linoleum and cleaning carpet). i think that's why I don't have much trouble renting out my units very quickly.Seriously, those little details make the house look brand new (sparkling shiny new appliances, esp).

Maybe it’s a little less sparkly but most of the sparkle comes from multidirectional lighting like they have in jewelry cases.
