@Ceaneh Alexis, I think that you will find that same pattern around most of the major metros right now. 

Or Hire reglazer to take all wall tile to gloss white, large darker grey tile floors 12x 24s in a subway tile pattern with dark grout.

Different customer and risk pattern than we are used to in Self Storage.Based on the wisdom above and your background, do we build ourselves or sell the land (appraised $600,000). 

If you're doing to invest in C-class neighborhoods, I'd rather invest in local C-class neighborhoods where I have a much better understanding of gentrification patterns (ie, the path of progress).And if South LA is still out of reach, I recommend considering an acquisition in Columbus, OH.

Housing formed a massive head and shoulders pattern and within the h&s pattern was another smaller one which formed the head of the much larger h&s pattern.

If it is just the look you are after then install vinyl flooring that has that pattern, not hard to get and it’s cheap and easy.

This could be changes to the market, changes in traffic patterns, or the construction of public nuisance type projects.

If you want to go wild, stack it vertically and/or in a grid pattern versus brick 50% or 33% offset.  

@Brendon Kerrigan I have a 1980's rental with original formica in a woodblock pattern.

Probably a Solo 401(k) but a SEP IRA may make more sense in select fact patterns.
