Invest less space in closets, particularly coat closets and the like.2. 

A cheap carpet would hold up better than a good coating of oil based paint on the floor?

I was in the mortgage business for 8 years both as a loan officer and account executive so I am familiar with finance but I must admit, this is a different animal.  

Same with seal coating the parking lot, etc.

I don't like to compare anything to Manhtattan on a relative basis because I believe that it's it's own animal but I think comparing Hudson County to BK is fair.  

The unit is in great shape and will just need a new coat of paint and cleaning.Is there anything I am missing?  

I have been doing REI for a few years now and have always been with either friends or family and not always gotten the best deal out of it. so i deiced to keep pushing forward and get my own business going doing what ever i can to get profits coming in to snowball my investing into a bigger animal repeating processes. this was starting to look up. i found a property through word of mouth, found a private money lender to fund my rehab and all seemed well.  

And as Scott said, NJ is a fickle animal.

Side B we put a fresh coat of paint over the ‘80s style avocado walls.

But don't refer to it as a rent to own, or lease purchase, those are different animals.
