@Aaron Zimmerman and clarify, I am the marketer, my husband designs lighting.

The light in the unit was awful, I had a blood-red fake leather couch, and I took horrible photos with my cell phone.

Principal changing his name (sometimes just slightly) to walk away from previous recordIMO a light search, like Google, is a good FIRST STEP in vetting a deal.  

It turns out that nothing is more of a waste of time, energy, and money than this, money that could have been spent elsewhere.

Change all lighting to LEDTo increase revenue: 1.

In light of that did the developers wind up getting a pretty decent deal out of this after they took a big risk on a property with crazy restrictive zoning and no clear path forward prior to purchase?

Something that didn’t need a complete overhaul but something that I would do light cosmetic cleanup in a good area.Reason being is that let’s say I bought a 5 unit building for 500k and put $100k down.Let’s assume that building has $100k in annual gross rents.

All lights were green and there was a pileup, leaving behind a mess of twisted metal and broken glass, and a few personal injuries to boot.The syndicator crowd coined the phrase "survive until '25" under the hope that by 2025 interest rates would correct and their deals would be fine. 

I have some lights on what to do, but I would love to know opinions from others!

If not, then these people will be arrested when it comes to light.
