A really crappy neighbor is putting their house up for sale. )

I have few ideas on how to attract good buyers, but I'd like to open
the topic for any ideas short of buying the place myself and becoming
a landlord or reselling it.

You may want your neighbor's house to sell at a higher price. You can
make your lawn and house neat and tidy. I dont really think you have
any control at all who buys the house. My solution for crappy
neighbors is to look the other way.

If they're really bad, sell your house and move. You have no control
over
any of it anyway, you might have the best neighbors in the world, but
you're
always just one "heart attack" away from not having them anymore, and
then
the new ones come, like it or not.

What's going on here with some of the responses? Why would I sell and
move away when MY ONE CRAPPY NEIGHBOR IN AN OTHERWISE GREAT
NEIGHBORHOOD IS MOVING OUT?

It's a great neighborhood until unforseen things happen, and your good
neighbors move out, and others move in. The point of the responses is that
YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER YOUR NEIGHBORS. Did you ever think that the
"CRAPPY
NEIGHBOR" is selling to get away from you?

Cheri, I know you haven't been paying attention, so I'll repeat this
for you: My "crappy" neighbor has a criminal record as long as the
phone book, and it shows.

I, on the other hand, never make a peep, obey the laws, and keep my
place pristine.

===========
I have been paying attention, especially since I am NOW in a neighborhood
that went from pristine, to a disaster as people died off or moved away and
others moved in. I have a drummer that cares nothing for what time he plays,
I have one right next to me now who never heard of yard work, one that has
cars parked on his lawn, and one that now has an ugly brown couch in his
front yard that has been rained on for the past several days and usually
beer cans in the front yard on Sunday. So...I AM MOVING AWAY after almost 20
years. My house looks very nice, and so does my yard, and one other house,
but that's it. I hope your neighborhood stays nice, but you really can't
control it. Good luck to you.

Cheri
