Super interesting door. I’m assuming there is a second floor where you can access the top part.
The colors here are very interesting. Multi layer use is neat as well.

If you are looking to buy a property in any major city, especially if you are investing, it’s crucial that you are mindful of how strong the area’s domestic and international demand curves are. The international demand curve is what will influence the rise in prices during positive periods.
When you find a city that you believe has a lot of potential, there are a few other best practices to keep in mind before you finalize the property you envision yourself buying, whether it be for yourself or for investment purposes. Ask yourself the following questions – and if you can confidently answer “yes” to all of these questions, the property you have been looking at may be the best option for you:
While “up-and-coming” can often be interpreted as meaning an “okay” neighborhood, there are definitely variations of what up-and-coming is defined as these days. If there are signs that the neighborhood is actively improving, you may want to hit the sweet spot of purchasing the property before the area is completely polished up. Not only will you reap monetary benefits, but you won’t have to worry about your property being vacant for long since homebuyers will flock to your area to find their next dream home.
Just like every city is unique, so is every home. One property might be situated ocean-front, while another may be surrounded by a park. Even owning a property in a certain location, like in San Francisco, can be seen as an advantage. For every property you look at, be mindful of its unique features that set it apart from other properties around the area.
A renowned and highly reputable school district will also be something that homebuyers will look for before buying a property. Even if they don’t currently have kids, they will want to invest in a home to settle into so that their future children will have the opportunity to get a good education. It also allows for a higher selling price since it is such a hot commodity.
If you can find a property in a major area, you have found the most opportune investment. However, it is almost impossible to purchase a property in a neighborhood that every individual constantly has their eyes on. Don’t fight for these properties. Instead, look for beautiful neighborhoods surrounding these more common areas and purchase a property there. The homebuyers looking for a place in one of the major cities will begin to peruse your area once they realize how limited their options are where they are currently looking.
