We were considering a midnight velvety blue for the front door or possibly a green, but were going to wait till we have the siding stained (semi-transparent), before we make a final decision.

I have been burning up the phones trying to identify one semi-satisfactory property management company in St.

They’re also semi illegal and if there’s ever drama and someone calls the cops they can be shutdown under an illegal hotel.

With the house wrapped up it's protected from the elements.Keep in mind it has to be trucked on semi-trailers and you need a crane as well as a crew who understands communication skills.

In B+ neighborhoods of Tacoma it's very hard to find something that will generate even 10% ROI with financing after taking into account management, vacancies and maintenance.Reading what Chris wrote above, it also looks like this money should be in semi liquid form, in case the expenses increase later on.

I have a semi similar situation and stumbled upon this post while looking for some advice.   

I have some low end rentals and I have the walls and trim all painted with the same shade and brand of semi gloss white. 

Now, I'm semi-retired at age 40 between my real estate portfolio and other business interests and I still pay just over the minimum for the same reason. 

Also, Columbus train is long gone, everything that is semi decent is getting scooped up quickly in hopes of continued appreciation. 

I have been an investor for 10 years on the side but semi newer to doing this almost full time.
