This restaurant, on the surface, looked like a very classy wine bar/restaurant. 

However, until landlords and property managers work to educate tenants proactively, they will continue to get their training from 1. the media 2. wining friends and 3. tenant-defense attorneys.

If you are tight for rehab budget choose one and make it a feature - I would always guide you towards the kitchen and the bathroom to make your feature investment stand out -you want granite in these kitchens and upmarket ovens, wine coolers etc.

Take her out, have a nice dinner, have some wine, let her know how much you love her, and DONT mention the war-zone property profit theory. 

So, in my opinion, if it's just wear from traffic with bare feet, especially, and not cleats, it's normal wear and tear.Now, if they spilled red wine and used a wire brush to try and clean it up - that's another story.

@Joshua Wine hey there, I invest in Grand Rapids and would recommend investing in Kalamazoo.Grand Rapids houses are too over priced and it’s very difficult to find good deals.Kalamazoo on the other hand houses are cheaper so you can get better deals.I wish to be familiar with Kalamazoo so I can invest over there.

To counter that, the fun part is that you get to be creative and figure out how to utilize a 12" space in your kitchen that won't require waiting a month for a cabinet (custom wine rack?).

I'm all for mulled wine and peppermint schnapps/hot chocolate!
