This practice is very odd to me.

However the property I ended up with has an odd black/brown countertop pattern with an 80s style oak cabinet stain, along with brown floors and a beige backsplash, so it's brown on brown on brown.

Rutherford is an odd combo choice.

That sounds odd to me. 

To keep it short, there are homes that are right across from the units that looked a bit odd.

Put in the effort, build relationships, prove your value, and improve your odds of finding someone to help launch you on your path.

Lots of odd regulations in NY.  

Oddly enough, people such as this don’t like nice things and tend to avoid them.

In addition, I don't personally communicate with tenants as we have various levels of employees between me and the tenant base so odds are good that the leasing agent who is dealing directly with the tenants who are looking to move into a particular property isn't even aware of who the individual owner of each unit they are marketing even is.
