New modern lights and ceiling fans, quality furniture, Big screen TVs (not so expensive anymore), big washer and dryer, one of those cool refrigerators.If you ever go stay in a nice hotel or nice airbnbs, try to pick up on some of the things they do to make it feel luxurious. 

Similarly, retail might be near the residential area (but on high traffic roads), and light / heavy industry is far from the residential - but close to freeways and rail infrastructure.

Hi, I am in the position to buy a single family historic home with an ADU in the back that currently has a tenant in it paying $1600 a month including utilities.The home has 3 beds and 1 bath  and needs some light work such as floors including leveling of one bedroom where the floor is dipping, a few windows, stair repair, painting  and landscaping as it sits on a 7000sqft lot.

Would you be able to shed some light on this process? 

They'll look at the case in a different light than if you're offering to pay them hourly to chase the manger around court for a few years.

@Daniel Cannon - here is some light reading, only a 154 pages from the IRS audit guide haha.

However, there have been at times nasty traffic jams due to works on the road, heavy traffic or some traffic light and controls, hence it could take up to 3 hours if you're unlucky.

Pick a strategy where you can see the light at the end of the tunnel and get moving.

If your market is small or overpriced then going out of state may provide you with the diversification you need.Con- At the beginning of your journey you can't tread investing out of state lightly. 

This can be very serious and VERY expensive...so make sure you do your research and do not take this lightly!
