With the new/larger Valley Hospital in Paramus and several travel nurse postings around there, it seems like that may attract some potential renters to the area (at least from a healthcare perspective). 

They look like urine stains, not attractive.

We would be so grateful for any input, experience, or recommendations from homeowners or agents regarding what would be the preferred choice for 1) attracting rental guests in the short term, 2) retaining value for resale and not looking dated in 10 years, 3) protecting ourselves from accidents.  

You can make loans out of your SIDRA with interest rates and terms more attractive than typical private or hard money.

For attractive terms, lenders would like to see a minimum of 1.00 DSCR (Rents fully cover the total mortgage payment)3.

It's a perfect example of how the most attractive applicant can be the worst choice.

Having a pre-approval or at least an established relationship with a lender shows sellers that you're serious and can close quickly, which can make your offer more attractive.

I added 2 red chairs form Amazon to make it more attractive.

They are worth more, you attract better tenants who pay more rent and treat the properties better.We replace 3 or 4 driveways every year.

I personally buy buildings that either have limited commercial exposure in relation to the total units or building SF or alternatively buildings that possess commercial spaces that are large enough where placemaking can attract amenity tenants that benefits my residential real estate in close proximity.
