@Michael Conway - I have never been a fan of rating neighborhoods ABC or D.  

It really is a personal choice but I am not a fan of getting into a tenants personal life in a major way because it is not something I would like. 

@Clint Jones from Greenville and yes I'm a Tigers fan!

Personally I am not a fan of the north side, near west side or south side.

Paint companies put together their popular colors or what they forecast for that year as trending in fashion and based on "Region" but there is a reason the chip wall and fan decks are so all encompassing.

Hi all  My name is Michael been a big BP fan for a while. 

Hello fellow BP fans, I'm a newbie investing in the NY area (an hour from Manhattan).

Replacing all light fixtures, faucets, doors, door knobs, ceiling fans, every inch of wall was repainted, all moulding from brown to white, new laminate flooring through the whole first floor and vinyl in the bathrooms, repainted the deck, and really landscaped outside, as well as a brand new porch.

I'm a fan of creating repeatable processes, putting them in place, and managing the process rather than the work and every single person involved.This is all good stuff worth considering, I'll PM you for additional information/discussion. 

I'm a big fan of So Cal investors investing in So Cal.
