When it comes to getting quotes from contractors, I know I need to give them a list of things that I want done, but do I include specific products (type and color of LVP flooring, paint colors, brand of kitchen cabinets, etc.)?

@Tyler Stone if you can't find someone to hang your license with, I would not view the time you spent on the salesperson courses as a waste/mistake.I often recommend to new investors that they consider sitting through all the pre-license courses (even if they don't ultimately take the exam) as they're a great education and introduction to real estate, and very affordable compared to the information gained.I also tell them that since literally anyone can become a real estate agent, the class (especially an in-person class) can have some... colorful characters🤣Even if you never become an active agent, it's a very good set of introductory knowledge about real estate, and it's also very helpful to know when dealing with agents in the future - as you almost certainly will at some point.

The town will say if the grass is too tall or the snow isn't shoveled and you can paint your house whatever color you want.

Too many investors have rosy-colored glasses when they get into rental property investing and then they end up frustrated with the lack of consistent, positive cash flow. 

But I don’t want to go through all of that if I’m just looking through rose colored glasses because I’m excited at the prospect. 

Remove wallpaper, prep, prime, and paint to the color of your liking.In this price we are including the paint and whatever is needed to prep. 

Painted with neutral colors.

That doesn't mean look at things with rose-colored glasses.

I have always read that neutral colors are best, so I wasn't sure about a black accent wall.

Great resource, and as an ex-Clevelander, I generally agree with the color codes.
