I take it your pilot light stays lit, but the burner doesn't come on as it should. 

3/4 of the units were occupied at purchase, so the vacant one we rehabbed the kitchen, painted the walls and trim, and added some light to the dark spaces.

I'm also digging deeper into properties in Bayonne along the light rail.

I'm surprised they didn't mention the abundant "natural lighting"

Will depend if feasible based on layout but saves a ton of time and is very slick.The open floor plan when you can take something down to the studs and when the layout accomedates, is really really nicePancake style low form factor lighting (LED) has come a long way. 

Sometimes either the drain valve (on the side near the bottom) or the temperature/pressure relief valve (either on the top, or on the side near the top) starts leaking, and $20 at the hardware store solves that problem.If it doesn't leak, but doesn't get hot: if it's gas, and has a pilot light, sometimes the thermocouple burns out; this is a $20 part at the hardware store. 

. $82 per month for repairs is light. 5% per month would be better.

Plenty of stories on BP about PM's charging $100 to change a light bulb or throw away trash between tenants. 

Hi, I'm looking for some recommendation for some light fixtures for the indoor entrance and the dinning room for my rental. 

I am also contacting the broker that will be hiring me to activate my Real estate license (Start taking these courses Friday) to shed some light on this as well.
