I was first thinking in tinting them, then change my mind to probably just apply some clear coat varnish that enhances the color and brings some gloss and life into them.

Even through you may be seeking only cash-flow, even if the hime does not appreciate, as long as the money you intend on expending will enhance the value of the asset to a New ARV, if this is something that fits your strategy why not.

As this cash flows into your real estate business you can use excess funds that you don’t need for your day-to-day needs to fund acquisition costs of additional properties that will allow you to better take advantage of other investing strategies that will provide you with potentially huge infusions of cash, further enhancing your bank account and allowing you to live YOUR American Dream.

Send Dan a PM, he is on your side of the state in West Palm Beach with over 100 properties under management so he can sit down with you and see if it would make sense to take what you are already doing and enhance it. 

Think about future enhancements that can bring in leads.
