Just tell them you want matching colors and the best deal they have the day you call.  

Have it written down and as specific as you can get(ie paint colors, flooring choices, kitchen updates).

Nothing in this price range offered any details like up-to-date color pallets, shiplap siding, butcher block-like counters, black and white cabinets or cute coat cubbies.

They've been dressed up over the years with new roofs, vinyl sizing, replacement windows, etc. but it doesn't change that they're structurally inferior to conventional stick-built houses of the same age in other areas.

They should sell it at home depot, its usually pink in color

I was given price allotments for square footage of flooring and allowed to pick paint colors, etc.

Send Direct Marketing targeted towards the people in areas where most owners should have mostly a majority of the market value, an area that has 30 to 40 year old houses.Either mail them in a special envelope or colorful postcard or knock on their entry door and ask them if they want to sell. 

My mind says white and black go with any color roof.

From everything I've read in books, It talks about itemizing exactly what brand/color/etc. you want of everything.

So we had to sand the entire thing and stain it a dark color.
