I would make sure the units have modern appliances including dishwashers and modern color schemes.

It actually hit me my last year at UIC as I was in my degree program of Computer science.

I feel both the greater Reno and Salt Lake area have small plots of land that new modern awesome looking apartments could be built on. 

The wrapping itself doesn't degrade, it offers no clues or warnings about what's happening unless you look very closely.With typical modern double-sash vinyl replacement windows, maintenance on wooden exterior window trim goes from being difficult to routine -- you take out the sashes from the inside and work on the wood.

Also, 10 year old renovations will most likely not achieve market rents, which means that any buyer will need to invest in renovating the units) 3 of the units are in perfect condition and can achieve market rent without issue. 1 unit will need a reno to bring it up to modern standards.Is the basement unit a "legal" basement unit?

Looking for something easy for this science major and at $175 / hour, it sounds good.
