The exterior has an old Hollywood Art Deco-style, but no David statues out front.

Stand outside the property, and do a 360 view of the neighborhood, a full view of the entire exterior of the property, and show all repairs you notice of the interior.IMO the purpose of the video/pictures is to weed out tire kickers who will want the address just to view the property and not move forward with buying.

- Repaired/replaced siding - New roof and gutters- Exterior paint- Landscaping- Remodeled two units- Brought rents up to market value- Reduced monthly expenses What was the outcome?

Even with under market rents you do not likely want a mass exodus mid-Corona.I'd try and focus on doing several units at a time while also trying to change the culture via the exterior of the property via landscaping and paint. 

I didn’t take in to account the exterior upkeep of the property.

Exterior only?

Most of the time tenants do not keep up the exterior of the home.

When building a deck or exterior stairs i would lean towards redwood or a synthetic product such as Trex depending on the application.

Wood floors but looks like it needs new kitchen, windows, bath, and some exterior work.
