For aesthetics, I was thinking of placing a curtain around the heater.

The $5-10K would be more for aesthetic upgrades to improve rents in one of the units.

My only hope is that the rehab company doesn't go in and make the interior Modern with white walls and white counter-tops but keeps honest to the cabin aesthetic. 

It's such a great concept (although a tad kitschy for my minimalist aesthetic), but there aren't any destinations that feature shipping containers.

My strong suits are in renovation and interior design and would like to create aesthetics that are unprecedented in the market.

I understand and have high value on flow, texture, space, color, end user/consumer, and general aesthetic.

In addition, you can throw in some can lights when you do it which will dramatically improve the aesthetic and help attract a good tenant once again.

Then address the aesthetics and while it’s always good to have a budget in mind it’s also important to look for little pieces of the rehab that can bring great value to the homes appraisal even if you have to go a little over budget in some areas.

Both units were in poor aesthetic condition while the infrastructure was updated in 2014.

Climate, weather, Durability, Function, Price, Aesthetics... all have pros and cons. 3.
