Personally, the mistake I was thinking of, was that I picked the wrong paint color in one of our units, I felt bad because it's not what I wanted-- should have took more time!    

Color?

Communities of color can use tenant ownership to prevent displacement and gentrification.http://www.tenantsunion.org/en/programs/section/te...https://vimeo.com/55024899

But unless and until we face that problem, it will inhibit serious movement toward providing all Americans - black, brown, yellow, white and all the skin color mixtures in between - with this basic need and right.

A bad roof will affect value or something else major like a cracked foundation but not paint colors or window coverings etc.)However, it is my experience that Hard Money Lenders always appraise a property far lower than what it would sell for.

Things like picking out molding, tile colors, color schemes (interior/exterior), etc.

Second Strategy: I am working to create a, " I Buy Houses, Home Solutions" flyer advertisment on, Microsoft Word, that I am going to print out on bright colored paper then deliver the papers to every house in the 2 hottest neighborhoods in my city and deliver more to 3 known neighborhoods close to home hoping to generate some leads and get some offers made and the ball rolling.I was looking to get some insight on these tactics and whether or not they might have worked for anyone in the past.

The property doesn't have baseboards but I am worried about the area where the floor meets the walls because it seems to be a "hot spot" judging by the darkened color of the tack strips and could potentially harbor some odors if they seaped into the seems.

Folks that have a high level of interest in changing the paint colors and altering this and that are red flags for me!

There could be tremendous opportunity (to increase rents and property value) if you are that one "owner" and you probably could do some major improvements just buying 2, 3, or 4 together, creating a quiet, well kept, good tenant end of the street (paint all yours the same color and build appropriate fencing, etc)...
