You just have no idea the bad taste or different taste than yours that some people have.When I bought my personal home, the master bedroom had a linoleum floor that looked like "green marble". 

You should be able to find out from the local zoning commission what, if any, restrictions there are - and see if any might be in the works.AirDNA is a useful resource for looking at market patterns/demand, but their rental projections can skew high because of the way they gather their data.  

No fussy features like marble countertops that stain easily or other house systems that require upkeep like water softener systems and similar. 

Wondering if a holding pattern may be the best course of action at this point through the end of the year and into the winter/off-season.Thank you!

But- if there's a chance of shifting toward that in the next few years establishing the fact pattern early couldn't hurt. 

I show up at 6 am/pm and every person going through the gate has to pick a marble out of a covered box. 

Once you hit 3, they will start paying attention because 3 is now a pattern.

Unfinished oak strip flooring has historically been sold in several grades: Select or Clear (the best, straight grain, minimal or nonexistent knots), #1 Common (obvious, even garish plainsawn-pattern graining, knots,  minor filling), and #2 Common (utility grade). 

Since I am not likely to live there more than 3 - 4 years, I decided to rent instead of buy..especially since property taxes are high in this part of the country (even though I know all costs factor into rent).I noticed an unusual pattern. 

I found out when I was young, that I learn best by watching someone else, doing the same thing over and over, by recognizing patterns until I figured it out (I'd like to thank Mario Bros. for that one), and making lots of mistakes.
