From an aesthetic perspective I love the old brick behmoths with maybe 4 apartments above a couple retail storefronts.

I also plan to complete some aesthetic renovations over the summer.Looking at the comparables in the area, most similar properties rent for $1250-$1400 a month.My issue is that with my current expenses at $1224 a month without utilities, that leaves me with very little cashflow, especially for establishing a reserve fund for repairs and vacancies.

We both enjoy taking a home and reenvisioning it functionally and aesthetically.

Class A represents the best buildings in terms of aesthetics, age, quality of infrastructure, and location.Class B buildings are usually older and not as competitive—price-wise—as Class A buildings.

I like tiny houses a lot on an aesthetic level, and I like that fully constructed ones can be bought for in the neighborhood of $20k.

I am a big believer in granite both for aesthetics and for endurance. 

I am looking for units with little aesthetic renovations, nothing time-intensive.

We plan on implementing professional management, charge market fees, do some aesthetic updates to the property, and do a rebrand/relaunch as a premiere multifamily asset in a true "main on main" location.The underwriting is very strong, even with assuming high vacancy in the first year while we bring down units online and in the event not all 12 owners want to stay on as renters.

or do we focus more on aesthetics of the townhouse?

They were built as such so the rooms should have a better aesthetic as a whole or layout, correct?
