It's important to maintain practical and aesthetically pleasing layouts.Infrastructure and Utilities:Be prepared to address infrastructure and utility needs for each new parcel.

And I didn't want to have to use different colors based on the orientation of the windows providing natural light.I just ran across this great comparison of shades of white by Behr, SW, and BM and thought I'd put it out there since I found it useful.SW aesthetic white is my go to wall color and Behr ultra pure white is my favorite trim color.

Inspections are only a part of the estimation as @Edward Stephens pointed out, we won't be looking at aesthetics or cosmetics, so you should already have a good idea if you need new floors, finishings, etc well before inspection.Check out the Book on Estimating Rehab Costs by J Scott, that should be very helpful for getting started, and with practice it will become second nature to look at a property and know what it will need.

i put an ADP sign up on the front of the house and put up security stickers on the windows...leave the lights on outside always. never had a robbery...hope i never do. sorry these punks did this to you. wish we could camp out together & bust their a$$.

My desired customer (tenant) is professional looking for an affordable and aesthetically pleasing living space.

Adding a tread to compensate for the altered geometry doesn't sound  "aesthetically pleasing".

Those bigger properties definitely catch my attention more as well just aesthetically, and I thnk about that when I would consider renting something myself. 

Among many other factors, I feel like rentals now (short or mid) NEED to have an aesthetically pleasing property and exceptional guest experience. 

Safety, security, function, and then the aesthetics / pretty things....
