I was at first frustrated that a wife asked me what color I was going to stain the deck.

If a buyer has an opportunity to come along now and pick colors of anything, or flooring types etc., then show the picture of the house and say Almost ready to move in...come choose your finishes and less make a deal!"

I would clean out the junk in the pole shed, clean the interior, repaint a neutral color, replace carpet and other light rehab tasks.

It has been renting quite well, but the living room has some awful color schemes - we're talking dark green carpet and pink walls!

FCRA is Fair Credit Reporting Act and meant to ensure you don't discriminate based on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or public assistance.  

It's a pretty big deal at least when it comes to borrower psychology.

I treated the sheetrock with bleach, applied mold resistant paint and then color matched the paint.

Your acting like a contractor allowing a buyer to pick colors, that shows the intent to sell or market to a buyer, not a tenant.

The "reporter" mentions the tenants hair dye color 3 times.....for no reason.  

I have personally learned more this year reading upwards of 90+ books not just on real estate but business, psychology, history, sociology, philosophy, math, finance and other real world topics that I can apply to my life right now in real time.
