The Oregon Coast is rugged and roughly 400 miles long.

LA has the ocean on one side, and extremely rugged mountains on the other.

Original, decorated with period antiques and rugs, an old grandfather clock, a river otter taxidermy, and a 80-year-old map of the Great Smoky Mountains above the fireplace. 

Ditch the red rug, increase art and add dresser, bedside tables to bedrooms.

If you can maximize all 3, then you've also created a very wide lead funnel, which is less common in multifamily properties.Maximizing "pets" means you're removing carpet, allowing at least 2 pets including cats and larger dogs > 50 lbs, access to a fully fenced-in yard or walking distance to a dog park, leniency on breed restrictions (depends on insurance, your risk tolerance, due diligence with pets during inquiry phase), pet friendly furniture (e.g. faux leather couch, low pile rugs if at all), etc.

Check out this rug.

Burlap on the wall, postage stamp rug for a large living room, hodgepodge of items around the house with no real theme.

I never paint, swap rugs (except flooding), or do other improvements on rent controlled units This can lead to blight.Who benefits from rent control?

I would never rely on only one platform - and they can for any reason pull the rug from under you.

Once, a tenant left a massive stain on the rug beyond repair.
