I was looking to repaint and add the faux brick on the bottom of the porch banister.

Lets see, 7 houses over is a 4 unit where listing price was just dropped from $50K to $40K, next door sold a few months ago for $33k and was just flipped and resold for $156K, a few blocks the other way was a tax auction sale for $17K, theres another 2 unit between here and there listed for $39K, 3 houses down the other way just sold for 55K and house next to it to cause they basically needed interior repaint, I can go on-Like accidentally find a dozen "deals" walking the dog around the neighborhood?  

I could save $3000 just by not re-painting the entire house inside and out (the house was painted 3 years ago and is "okay"; I would just only paint the bad areas) and leaving the crappy kitchen countertop and kitchen cabinets.  

Repainted every wall and the ceiling too.

I notice apartments tend to go with wood siding products and just keep repainting every so often....though generally not often enough.  

I've repainted the entire condo and replaced all the carpet with laminate flooring. 

How do I get rid of the old paint so I can repaint them?

Added new appliances, adding laminate flooring to all rooms not previously mentioned, celing fans in all rooms, had the house repainted, and fixed things that needed fixing (pool, outdoor sprinkler).

What color would you guys repaint it?

I am staring renovations on a property this weekend.It's only a 1400 sq ft house in good shape and requires cosmetic fixers.I'm planning to rip up the lino and carpet and install tiles and repaint the entire interior and exterior.I'm planning to be very hands on.
