We could always try it on a couple of units (it's only doors and shutters) and see what it looks like but it would be inefficient getting it done, purchasing paint, etc.I asked my wife to find some pictures on the internet and she can't find any, which likely shows that it is not common.  

I am not daring enough to just copy something from a internet search. 

HI internet, and southern California, my name is Eric.  

I still have to find some asbestos removal folks to clear out the ancient heating system ( I think it's that "octopus" style heater).Today, I just got DTE to get electricity on, and will have internet set up Monday.  

The only catch is the HOA is $260 a month plus $65 hazard insurance plus $200 cap for utilities water and lights, internet comes in HOA dues.

The internet is not where you should be getting financial advice, see your accountant, attorney and insurance agent, those are the key players for financial planning, you might also visit a few Trust Companies and check on admin expenses before you decide what route is best for you and your goals.Good luck !  

If you're curious I can share the white papers he wrote on this that I found on the Internet. 

In my opinion, being licensed and seeing how things are going with Zillow and other internet services, the days of realtors are changing.

If a solid percentage of buyers end of buying their homes or if the monthly purchase price is less than what a reasonable rent would be or if that is the fair market value for the home, etc, etc.Market forces and a wealth of readily available resources (the internet) has made true predatory lending a small segment of the housing industry in recent year. 

During this time, I have done free prescription discount card programs, internet marketing, amazon/eBay, MLMs etc.
