We provide dark grey washcloths in every bathroom for just that purpose.

Pick a color or pattern that hides things well.Knobs/pulls: look for something that can't catch on clothing.Paint: avoid bold, dark colors.

Have them shadow you consistently and check in with them.I recommend not delegating a task until you are 100% successful at the task yourself.

Even being out of budget, that transparency is really valuable and not leaving investors in the dark! 

I used light floors and dark walls for contrast and light furnishings pushed against the dark walls for pop.

Would anyone experienced in Seller Financing and/or Subject To in the US be willing to let me shadow a deal? 

People take narrow crappy photos of dark rooms, blinds closed, with close-ups of who knows what because there WAY to close-up.   

When you dive into it, there are a lot of nuances.First, there are subsections of retail: single tenant NNN, small unanchored neighborhood, grocery anchored, shadow anchored, power centers, regional malls, lifestyle centers, etc.Then you get into tenant mix and market specifics. 

Its since sold and whomever is rehabbing it is making it look really nice, but I seriously wonder WTF was going on in that one "dark red" bedroom, like there was a cigarette smoking competition going on for the last 10 years. 

What you get when you let a tenant paint is roller-marks of the wall color on the ceiling, drips and runs, patchy covering, spilled paint, silly accent walls/ too many colors, uneven lines on edges and in corners, splatters, blistering, bubbling, peeling, the wrong sheen, visible brush marks and roller strokes, trim painted the same color as the walls, electrical outlets and switches and even light fixtures, vents, cold air returns, fart fans etc. all painted when they shouldn’t be, not enough coats where paint actually should be, and terrible color choices (almost always too dark or too weird).
