This higher end CHA tenants want to do nothing more than blend in with the community especially if they are in an area filled with many more market tenants.   

And especially for the visual :) I had already painted the garage door a tan(ish) color to try to make it blend in more-- do you think I should go back and try white instead?

If you have the paint you should be able to blend in the patches as long as the repairs blend with the finished wall surfaces.

You can't just blend in and avoid each other.And it always comes down to who the tenants are anyway.  

For an investment property, 15% down for a 1-unit, and 25% down for 2-4 units.Conventional is better than FHA if you have a 680+ credit score, as the blended rate and PMI cost is lower.  

And it makes the appliances totally blend in as well.  

When it is damaged it is much harder to repair and blend in.  

His accountant can verify because the tax will be at a blended and different rate for depreciation recapture, fed cap gains, state cap gains/income, possible ACA surcharge. 

It's a case by case basis based on the tenant and what the lease rate is compared to market along with rent increases for the overall blended return to the landlord.If for example I have a Pizza Hut and is a corporate guarantee then the store could lose 30k a year and I the landlord still get paid like clockwork the rent.

I look at going in because I want to know worst case what the existing income is on a property if it takes longer to stabilize than anticipated.Some want 5 cap on current and others 7 to 8 cap on current and blend the cap rate up once stabilized.You have to define what YOUR TIME is worth and what return you want to work on a property.
