Beware those TV shows - many of them are made up or enhanced versions of reality.  

Hi @Scott TrenchThank you for the warm inviting welcome to the BiggerPockets network, I cant wait to enhance my knowledge by being involved in the community!!

This may seem like a bad thing, but it actually enhances your experience when interacting on our site, knowing that you won't be subjected to all those ads that have nothing to do with real estate investing and trying to sift through them to find the information you need.Read through the rules and terms of service.

Plus, the lines in the paneling add some texture to the wall which can be really nice with a light color.

Think about mixing contrasting colors and textures with leaves and flowers.

Rather, use those circumstances to help build our foundation, enhance your problem solving skills and expand your knowledge to grow as an investor.

I appreciate there are many people that use Bigger Pockets for boasting, enhancing their ego and networking.

Back when looking at it, I knew the bedroom walls were textured but not that the thing is mine and I've been in it daily for the last few weeks, I'm realizing I absolutely hate the textured walls.  

Yes, my focus is definitely buy and hold but I can see that knowledge of certain aspects of wholesaling and fix/flip can further enhance the return on buy and hold strategy.
