Issues to think about are shared walls (if you're renting to nurses they need QUIET in their off hours), parking and how easy it is to get to/from work in your area.

:Always do anything within the walls of escrow, i.e. pay people, pay title, pay escrow, pay invoices from termite, give a credit to a buyer or seller along with anything else. 

Now if try tailing the entity on deed "up-stream" come to find it's a meandering trail of breadcrumbs, come to find they themselves are debt loaded via notes on properties to other entity, that again is a meandering trail ending in WY entity behind a wall of ownership interest in such so never get peoples names.  

We introduced a new color scheme for our new construction homes.Once the exterior paint was finished, we realized that we strongly disliked the color we chose for the garage door.Easy fix, spend the money to repaint the garage door and update the color package for future homes.Hiccups like this happen every day in this industry.

Should I stain these doors and hardwood floors a dark expresso color, or lighten them, or just leave them alone?

By installing our own, we remove the wear and tear and damage the tenants do by moving W/Ds in and out and hooking them up wrong (which is common) and using cheap components that cause leaks and destroy floors and walls.

Quote from @Henry Lazerow:My guess is most of the deals selling go to newbies who have no idea what a rehab really costs or that once you open the walls the costs often go up 10's of thousands so you need a solid margin to make money.
