Just bought a little 2/1 in a very convenient neighborhood, just a few blocks from a much more expensive neighborhood. We now have it freshly painted/scrubbed/fixed up and have it w/ a property management company to rent out. The problem is it doesn't have a lot of curb appeal. It is neat, but very plain. I am debating repainting the trim. Honestly the only reason I am debating is that it is 98 degrees out every day, and there is a hell of a lot of trim to sand and repaint. Also, I had thought about a flower pot on the front stoop, but it is Albuquerque, so I would have to drive by and water every freakin day. I went ahead today and bought a red white and blue Welcome mat ($6) and stars & stripes bow ($4) for the front door.
Anyone have any inexpensive suggestions to add curb appeal? It is the desert, so it has a little vegetation, but any garden I put in will probably die as soon as the tenants get in.
