My HOA authorized an homeowner to paint his home totally deviating from the color scheme of the neighborhood.

congrats on your journey. in my experience i have refinished hw floors and installed thousands and thousands of square feet of laminate floors. the issue i have found with laminate floors is if they ever require a repair down the road it is unlikely you will be able to get an exact match for the floor you installed  X years ago. hardwood floors can be refinished several times and look great when done right. you assumption on carpet is pretty accurate. we tend to install a mid-grade carpet (not the cheapest carpet available)  and as long as tenant did not totally trash it we have been able to get it cleaned and in some cases even dyed it a different color if we could not get the stains out but yes we replace a lot of carpet after tenants leave. 

My favorite color is GREEN which is also the color I am when it comes to real estate investing.

From some articles I have read though it sounds like exterior upgrades tend to have pretty good ROI, replacing the front door with a nice new steel one in a color that works well with the house, and new siding (or stucco or brick treatment) can be quite a good improvement in the look, that usually has pretty good ROI.

Really like the colors.

Reglazing works wonders with a 1950s 1960 colors like pink, green, blue tubs. 

@Nick NoonOur perception is always colored so heavily by where we live. 

However, I'm looking for 10+ years for a reason.  1) The first few years post Bubble anyone could buy low end properties almost anywhere, and 2) Repairs, vacancies and capex don't really show their true (costly) colors until year 10+.How far away are you from the properties and who is doing the management?
