In my opinion they look at price, quality of furnishing, reviews, and how far from downtown.Theres a significant decrease in occupancy in winter months.

I have been performing a mixture of both sales and limited property management in 2017.About 13 months ago : I was property managing about 35 – 38 doorsNow I’m down to about 16 doors.Property mgmt doors decrease has allowed me more time for my own personal improvements.( More sleep , less time in the automotive shops for vehicles repairs )

The desirability of that will not decrease.  

What can often times be even more important than increasing rent is decreasing turnover. 

Currently the scenarios I consider are:1) Housing slumps: reduced liquidity and rent decreases ..2) Money lenders calling a loan for some reason..transferring title to LLC etc.3) Uninhabitable property... fire, flood etc... 

No management, no decrease in income, no CAPEX, no problems.  

Maybe the first neighbor over gets them, not sure, however, I can tell you that you are few lots over chances are decreasing to zero!

You won't have a tripod, off camera flash, or post processing.DSLR will offer more flexibility, and precision, but quality will be hardly noticeable especially as screen size decreases (cell phones/laptops).

If you can provide your current P&L some lenders will be able to get an exception and average your P&L in with 2015/2016 to decrease the business loss.If it is just a small amount of income you need, you could always get a rent schedule with your appraisal.

There's also quite a bit of value add potential because this is a commercial deal and decreasing utility expenses (while also raising rents to market rate, which they currently aren't) would directly drive up value.
