While I can get information on this question online, such as brick is obviously more durable and long lasting have a better resale value than vinyl, I'm still struggling to make the decision on which property to go with.There is a quadplex vinyl exterior property for 210 per unit versus brick exterior property with wooden deck in the backy for 230 per unit in middle Tennessee.

Decks.

I recently had a conversation with a representative from the Lending Deck company.

Redid the deck railings, refinished the deck surface, repaired various small things and did some exterior paint work.The new washer and dryer were depreciated as was the dishwasher.

Deck is falling down (covered by HOA) but has resulted in an ongoing ceiling foyer leak.

Just go to Airbnb and search for a place to stay and you will see how decked out all the homes are and how many are available and hence, how startlingly low some of the rates are for such nice houses.It can be done but if cash flow is a top priority it would not be my top choice right now. 

Additionally, home had been neglected for a while but with a few good hands-on deck it was restored to its intended beauty.

I have seen leases for tenants in multi family homes that do not adequately describe the leased space and do not mention the areas such as stairways, decks, patios, lawn etc.

Here's my slide deck that I share with everyone for all things MTR.
