But as far as aesthetics go, I would absolutely remove that wall. 

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

Totally agree, and I think it's like most fields, if you are good enough at what you do and produce results, aesthetics don't matter much. 

I think it's up to you and your aesthetic. 

I didn't take a video walkthrough since there were tenants with us but it was a decent space that wouldn't need a ton of work, but definitely some cosmetic and aesthetic rehabbing.I believe Michelle asked a question about purchase with tenants - Sean answer this one.We also discussed why it's important for us to be investing in this area, though sometimes dangerous since we go as a group it's less of a threat for us.  

I don't want to have an ugly house due to me lacking the skills to envision an aesthetic house.

In our case, because the property was in a zone where the Board had adopted a certain aesthetic, the planning commission required a tile roof.

I'm looking at a duplex in a large college town and want to get some advice before moving forward with an offer.The Details:-Duplex, both 4 bed/4 bath-Listed for $250,000-Currently 100% occupied, $300/room-Cash flowing $2,400/month-1 mile from campus-6/10 condition, 2/10 aesthetics I think that with new flooring, paint, and updating the kitchens and bathrooms, I could increase the rent to $550-600/room. 

Existing kitchen aesthetics were very dark and stale since 1985, same with the lighting fixtures throughout the unit.

Of course, they are a mess to replace both financially and aesthetically, but have been worth it for me to do when the boiler died
