In her defense I see how it could happen when looking from a mobile phone it gets blended into his email signature.Me.

There are requirements to blend the units into existing asthetics and continuity.There is alot of multifamily in LA so not as big of an issue as other places.

If the first lien on your property encompassing a majority of the debt is in the 2-4% range and you are grabbing a small portion of equity from a HELOC for this repair, the blended overall debt rate will be lower than where rates are at now, e.g. you might have a blended rate of 5% vs. 6-7% where rates are now. 

You can get a good blend of both appreciation and cash flow in the surrounding area.  

One of the main goals of the Housing Voucher Program is to assist families but still help/allow them blend in with the neighborhood, other market tenants, and unit owners around them.  

It blended well.

Are we talking about maximizing cash flow, chasing after capital appreciation, a blend of both, or perhaps something else entirely?

One thing to keep in mind- there's a decent sized apartment complex near me that has a large solar array, and even though the property isn't as nice, new, or updated as the ones around it, it rents for a small premium and their vacancy rates are really low- one of my friends used to live there, and another in the complex across the street.I think there's two reasons for this- one, after looking at 3 or 4 apartments, they tend to blend together in people's minds, but the big solar array sticks out, and two, people are willing to spend a little (but not a lot more) to be more eco-friendly.

Your "blended rate" would then be somewhere in the 5's. 

However I think that if you are living there you should consider a blend of appreciation potential and cash flow since you can get in with a lower down-payment and maximize long term ROI.
