The one thing I will do to my units to make them more attractive to tenants is I will spend a little bit extra to put in slightly (but not extravagantly) nicer finishes ... things like brushed nickle hardware instead of brass or chrome, laminate floors instead of carpets, etc. and keep my units in good condition ... therefore, even if I charge market rent it is a good deal since my units have slightly nicer finishes ... if I take pride in my units and they are in good locations, then I find it will attract quality tenants who will also take care of my units, and no they do not leave when I raise rents up to the max the market will bear.

I'm thinking I may need to seal/coat the exterior walls - one person I talked to thinks moisture may be coming in from the walls and getting sucked into the soft bricks.

If not, that's on you.I would've paid him a more fair amount and got a soft & firm estimation on completion, and priced him to do it on the quicker of the two with no workmanship issues.
