Paint is on trend tones and floors are Ideally vinyl planks in a distressed wood look with grays, browns and beige to hide dirt/damage and go with everything.

You will almost always recoup your investment by replacing it, if going with carpet I recommend choosing a nice neutral lighter color (no grey /peach / etc. undertones, compare swatches side by side and see how they reflect in both light and shade - sometimes colors look similar but side by side and in shade one reflects light well and the other one looks dirty). 8 lb rather than 6 lb pad doesn't cost much more and makes the carpet feel more luxurious.I agree with @JD Martin about the vinyl plank floors, just choose a color that's not trendy and a pattern that's not too busy - I think gray has been overdone and is on its way down the ladder although still popular, and a warm neutral that has a touch of gray may be better.

@Loretta Gray Do you think it will stay this way?

Application fee is a gray area.

If you plan to join wholesaling with not much knowledge, know you are joining a world that is in the legal gray area and requires disclosures.

@Jeremy Sainlar We use @Kevin Grullon with Purvis Gray...Highly recommend him. 

@Nicholas Gray - @Matthew Stanizzi provides great info.The only thing that I would add is that if you can get a LOC on any of your properties, you can use that as your reserve so you are not tying up cash in liquid (and therefore low return) form.

@Nicholas Gray did you ever find the answer to this question?

@Jason Dougher - Yeah, this is definitely a gray area.

A service animal is more cut and dried, but the support animals are more gray areas where folks may not want to jump through the hoops if pets are already allowed.
