Have you noticed how some houses are cute even though they are not expensive. Here are a few houses that have great curb appeal. You will notice that they are traditional, simple, cute, square with pleasing angles. The landscaping is done tastefully and there are no obtrusive elements to distract a buyer. When shopping, pay close attention to the curb appeal. It is not as important to for rental property, but when it comes time to sell, it will be a factor. I would much rather take a house with curb appeal and a distressed interior than an ugly house needing no work. We can always change interior colors, hang doors and redo the kitchen and bathrooms. It is difficult to make an unattractive house exterior pretty without major modifications.
