I wouldn’t ever pay extra for better cabinets or special color countertops.

So, color me confused.

Nothing special, just a durable white color that won't get scuffed up with high traffic/renters.2) Handyman - someone who can fix a few small things eg: closet door, sealing tiles, grouting, etc. 3) Property manager - I live too far away so won't be able to head to Seattle to manage the property, finding a tenant, etc.

They don't care about the latest trends and paint colors, and therefore they won't pay more for those amenities. 

Neutral or beige color for walls.

The tenants claimed it was this color when they moved in.

Even then they may not be the color or style someone else wants. 

Seems a little off to me, but as a new investor I'm in the dark.

And if they aren’t scamming then they are level 13 psychos that will ask you to bend over backwards for them and then give you a bad review because they don’t like the shade of paint color in the guest bathroom.

I never used the license, but it showed up as a credential on my resume and served as a career parachute just in case.One of the best career books of all time is What Color is Your Parachute by Richard Bolles (I first read the book back in 1978).
