Can’t go wrong with grey house, white trim, pale yellow or red or black (in cases where heat won’t warp it) or even white door.

@Kimberly Yang, here in PA, owner's address can certainly be a PO Box or UPS address. 

Ponzi all pale in comparison to the economic, social, and trust destruction wrought by this single investment sociopath.

For Conventional you need 30% equity in the home your renting, FHA 25%@Leon Yang Freddie does require a 2 year history. 

@Chou Yang Cleaning costs can vary, mine run depending on property anywhere from 10-20 percent a year but I have a private individual (cheaper) but I also pay them for other management activities and to be an on-call resource (more expensive)

Finally, there is a saltbox style 4-plex that is pale yellow which is acceptable.For these four, there are another forty that look far worse for wear having been painted.

The cashflow pales in comparison to loan paydown and appreciation.

@Donivan Norton  I agree completely with @Frank Yang.  

Additionally it can usually be a good idea especially if second level to have a tile floor where the washer and dryer are and have an in floor drain system.These items can be an upfront cost but can generally pale in comparison to a water leak event. 

So even if Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook have 22,000 employees in NYC, that pales compared to the number of jobs being located in smaller cities.
