For those that don't, going with a dark stain color can help to hide.Require the tenants to cover primary traffic routes with runners and the other areas with rugs. 

On the Marketplace landing page, top right hand corner, you should have a bluish colored box to Subscribe/Unsubscribe to the forum.Under Manage Keywords, is where you'll set-up the city and/or zip code and you have the option to include/exclude the Marketplace from this.

Maybe color choices makes a difference too.

Talk about a success story already and you are just getting started.I always love hearing the dark parts though!  

Contractor won't change his/her colors.  

It has some pretty bold colors that may not appeal to most potential tenants.

Most lenders are more concerned about getting repaid and less concerned about being a shining beacon of light in the otherwise dark world.Additionally, the purpose of the business plan is to explain how your business will grow and succeed; not how much money you would like to personally make per year.

That's going to color my answer.

I know exactly how you feel.I had a tenant once leave the property with over $6K in damage, having broken the lease and given my contractor the keys after dark.

We then become their "lender" for a few years while they continue to improve their credit and financial picture.That said, here is what I find when I take back the home ( read: evict and/or they move out before the lease is up): new 50-60 inch flat screen TV boxes in the garage, DirecTV set tops in all bedrooms ( that they do not live up to the original agreement with DirecTV and return the rented boxes), all of our original lightbulbs replaced with odd, irregular, different color bulbs in most of the lamp sockets ( a 5 socket light fixture that we installed with the correct bulbs will have 3 bulbs at most- none matching - why?!!)
