So the old homes were sold to canny investor types who quickly converted them into duplexes and filled them with black folks eager to get out off the Hill and white Appalachia hill folk from the surrounding areas looking to move into the Pittsburgh metro area.As the municipalities began to catch on to the fact that any sort of old home undergoing a conversion to multifamily was bad news for the area, they passed ordinances forbidding the conversion of single-family to multifamily.

Hi Dana,In addition to paint, maybe put a strip of black indoor outdoor carpet just in front of the door (and on the steps if they are not cement).That area is going to take most of the abuse of moving (scraping appliances and furniture) in and out, as well as most of the foot traffic.Cut 3 or 4 more sheets and toss them in the attic for future use.A hand full of staples is much cheaper and faster on turns than a full repaint.Also keep in mind that is a long narrow space and Lighter colors make things appear larger, darker colors--the opposite.Good Luck!

A little side note: A while back I seen a spreadsheet of Beverly Hills California mineral rights holders, a surprising amount of them live in Texas.It was for actively producing wells of Black Gold--Texas "T", and the checks are for a LOT more then $150 a month.https://www.youtube.com/watch?

Tuna,I am a big fan of putting less down and letting the bank do the funding. 

Signs like tarps on roofs, black/brown pools, and cars parked all over the yard. 

Make it black and white.

I maintain the roof and the black water drain. 

Its pretty black and white.
