@Deepak MahajanHave you tried looking in the outlying towns of the Phoenix Metro area such as Apache Junction, Buckeye, Casa Grande, San Tan, Coolidge, and Queen Creek?

@Ryan Lawler I agree with @Pamela Sandberg re: Tempe, Chandler, and Gilbert and would even suggest extending a bit further to Maricopa, Queen Creek and parts of San Tan Valley.

-Keep the floors as-is ($0)-Paint the walls grey, or tan?

@Cara Tan

@Adam Craig Ive seen a nice navy blue or an olive tan go well with brick

Over time, the oak naturally ages and gets darker and darker under the finish.Eventually, waterborne polyurethanes were developed, and those are the light-colored finishes you see in the pictures, preserving the oak's tan tint (even these will darken too, over time).

@John Tan...they need to be completely out of your name and financed to the entity in a non-recourse matter (you have no personal liability) and only then they will count as business purpose/commercial and you can get around. 

Thank you Great Tip @Pearly Tan ..

@Andrew MonaghanYou may want to consider the outlying areas such as Apache Junction, San Tan, Casa Grande, Coolidge, etc.
