Honestly though, with proper landscaping and aesthetics it could looks fine. 

Additionally, you loose control over the quality and aesthetics of any repair or upgrade.With a lease - option, the tenant is a tenant until s/he/they exercise the option and place a downpayment.

LED light bulbs and a wifi thermostat were the first things we did when moving to our place, not big ticket items, but they more than pay for themselves in time, especially if you leave your lights on for security/aesthetics.

I'm not sure why 2 separate committes are needed, nor do I understand why we have a design committee if the resident architect guy is bogarting all aesthetic changes from architectural drawings to landscaping to paint colors.

Interior aesthetic/practical ideas for design (ex: how to make cinderblock walls a little more "homey."

This would give me time to research, learn, and pick how we want the house with all its aesthetics.  

Since taking possession of the property, we have made significant upgrades to the property and improving the value of the property and making the building more aesthetically appealing to the neighborhood.

Did some aesthetic work on those, dealt with tenant issues, and have come out the other side.

Both the aesthetics, after project completion and, of course, the profit!

Is the current bathroom to code, do I need to undo what is there (although aesthetically looking perfectly fine) and get it all to code.
