I think color needs to come down to lighting and space, the darker the cabinet in a smaller, not so well lit kitchen is going to make the kitchen appear smaller while white or light color cabinets will reflect more light and hopefully have the opposite effect.

@Bryan L.  it's

Only real problem was when they lit fireworks last 4th of July and had the street pretty well ablaze in them,,,and my porch floor mysteriously now sports burn holes in it now,,when it didnt in June.

But much of what you see on this board is probably not the REIT type holdings...This community tends to be more small landlords and smaller scale investors... but all kinds chime in..I have blog up on the Classics of Landlord Lit for some ideas on the scale (and most should be free in your library). 

The bathroom might be lit up, there is a plus to the light bill.  

I dimly began to understand that there was real money in this. 

So wherever he goes at night it is well lit “for his safety”.

Dave Ramsey of course takes a VERY dim view of that.

While dimming all my monthly income and profits from fliping and rental back to bussiness.  

Treat it like you would your own house if managing yourself yearly inspection :- furnace/boiler - clean out burners (do in Fall to make sure heat is on in winter)- clean dryer vents- caulk bathtubs- change out thermostat/CO2 detector batteries- clean out gutters in Fall- while on the roof looking at gutters, take a look at roof condition - fix early- vacuum and clean utility room near any furnaces and water heaters (keeps dirt/dust out of systems, can extend life)- rinse water heater screens (can fill with dust and won't stay lit)- drain water heaters yearly - prevents sediment buildup and will extend life- change furnace filters (more often than yearly)- if in cold environment, turn water supply to exterior off before winter- take a look under sinks to check for any slow leakThis shouldn't take much longer than an hour or so per unit per year unless you find something unexpected, and if you do find something then good job catching it early.
