I don't want to necessarily say fun, but perhaps rewarding in paying that kind of respect to architecture and aesthetics by bringing an old home to life and then passing it on.

Has anyone out there worked with branding their properties (specifically with a certain aesthetic, design feature, or actual signage)?

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.

Only had one question it and he was a punk.  

For them to have the eviction lifted they have to:-Pay the full rent due-Pay the late fee-Pay the eviction filing fee $85 usually.Not to sound like a punk, but this is one area that we don't play around with, we take it seriously & express to tour tenants that they should as well.

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.
