Recession-Proof Rental Property

Overgrown backyard before renovation

The backyard of this duplex was an overgrown lot that demanded $80 lawn services every two weeks. By laying limestone throughout, that cost almost disappeared. An added benefit for those that live alone is there are no strangers on the property. Instead, maintenance has been reduced to pulling weeds a few times throughout the year.

Your rental is only worth what people can AFFORD to pay for it.

Lower overhead costs means the landlord can keep rental prices affordable for families while still maximizing their profit. A win – win for everyone and sustainable in a struggling economy.

The Vision: The summer sun is brutal! The backyard makeover will continue in the Fall with new garden beds, an outdoor lounge area, and lighting to set the mood + keep the mosquitoes off our neck.
