The Lighter Side of Real Estate (I am not affiliated with them at all) has funny stuff you can share for free with their branding, or you can subscribe to remove the branding.

Basements tend to be dark so I go with lighter paints and finishes. 

Dark colors always look lighter on walls. 

By contrast, it sometimes appears that the HML that are a little lighter on the rate (still high, but not THAT crazy), but with higher fees (clearly this is their money maker), really REALLY want to ensure you get out of the HML ASAP, so they can get paid back, allowing them to re-lend that $ and collect those high points/fees from the next person ("velocity" of $ is the concept, if you want to google...

If a map area has a lighter shade of blue, it means the cap rate is lower in that area.If an area has no shade at all, it means there were no multi-family sales for the time period.This analysis covers the 2 year period ending on August 14, 2021.

Personally, I like lighter rehabs where I keep my rehab costs as ~<20-25% of the purchase price. 

If it is a smaller house they do a lighter stage rather than a full furnishing.

The lighter the color, the more the "flaws" stand out.

The work that needs to be completed:Gutters Binder coat on drivewayBring front walkway step height to codeExpand landscaping, and add "ornamental" treeFix stonework on front facade with sub par installation (They tried to get me to re-side the whole house a shade lighter already and I told them no)What would you do?

And you can light a gas stove with a bbq lighter (for cooking, not heating/burning the house)If the house is all electric, well you need to bring the “power plant” to the house to run anything...Oh, interestingly some people dont like gas stoves.
