I don't know if an ice-cream franchise is a good fit in Alaska or a Wool sweaters is a fit in Hawaii.5) How does franchise X fit with the rest of your tenants (assuming it's a retail strip of some sort) a pizza franchise in a strip mall that already has a pizza place will compete with each other and will eventually cause one of them to lose their business and you to lose the tenantJust some food for thought. 

It probably just like another thing to do that is not necessarily  pleasant (not like go eat ice cream at a movie), so may be he is just postponing because of that.

For instance, let's say your brick is redish, cream siding, I would probably go with a really deep brick red stain, darker than the brick on the house. 

There's no cream to pay someone to do simple work and you'll have a lot more say in tenant selection and ongoing maintenance and repair situations.   

Obviously, skim the cream from the leads coming in.

It is sort of like picking a favorite flavor of ice cream, nobody can ever tell you that your favorite flavor is wrong. 

I would also add Icy's Plain and Fancy for best ice cream in the world.

Afterward, grab a beer and pizza at Wyman's on the northeast edge of the park and a scoop of ice cream at Lik's next door.
