So far, all my rent houses are the same interior color so I always have spare paint on hand for touch ups.Look into kwikset smartkey locks for easy re-keying between tenants.One thing I have to remind myself is that I am not going to live there so I can scale down its finish out somewhat.... you do need to stay consistent with or slightly above your neighborhood in my opinion.

A good reminder that we each need to become experts in our own local markets.

I appreciate the reminder about the profile picture!
