Add a faux set of railing from the main posts to the sidewalk edge to give it more of a front porch look on the first floor, this will also help to obscure the recycling bins.  

I had a similar situation with a jewelry store tenant that had a walk in vault. 

I am new here, and I once had a very bad experience with information sharing, when I was a faux finch artist and muralist.

Last year we were still able to buy newer (2000's vintage) core plus assets for around a 6% cap and older value add deals for a 7% cap rate.

I asked if there were alternatives like the lamp idea because our only table lamps are vintage antiques that I don’t want to risk getting damaged, and they’re not energy efficient anyways and we never use them.

Value add and then investment grade credit jewelry box.So my clients buy the properties putting 30 to 35% down for NNN and get maybe 6 to 7% cash on cash going in and then with mortgage paydown hit 10% or more annual IRR.

I go to places like Construction Junction and Habitat for Humanity Restore to buy vintage glass light covers and doors (I much prefer a vintage wooden door over a cheap hollow modern door - and the modern junk is more expensive - I can usually get a used wooden interior door for $10-$20 bucks each and it looks great after it's painted).I also buy used storage cabinet/counter combos and put them in my smaller multi-family properties because those typically lack enough cabinet and counter space. 

But cool vintage is back so don’t make it too modern.

If you went into a department store to buy a pair of slacks but started looking at jackets or tshirts or cologne or jewelry, would your trip be successful or not?

There have been a few minor improvements, however most of the units are dated (80's-90's vintage) lending themselves for further potential.I feel like a MLO is going to be a hard sell in the current market, on an MLS listing.
