The tiles were a beige and I wanted a black theme.

I remember an applicant once proudly telling me how he "individualized" every room in the house he had rented by painted it a different theme.  

Of course, admittedly, I don't know any details but if that is a common/reoccurring theme in EVERY applicant I have to wonder why that might be. 

Hi BP Community,From a financial perspective, should my fiancee and I plan to buy a home after our wedding or keep renting? 

I stumbled over BiggerPockets on you-tube will researching Budget Wedding's of all things, another decision weighing so heavy on my mind.  

I think if you are going to spend the extra for trex, go a little further in cost for the hidden fasteners (although a theme her is I kept adding to cost until in the end probably too much).

It obviously depends on the pricing, but I get people in their all the time, for all kind of events, birthdays, weddings, passing through, work, or just to get away....90% occupancy easily.

Wedding venue, paintball course, obstacle course (think Tough Mudder), campe site,  trailer park plots, etc.

I was also looking at Tennessee and found a similar theme-cash flows well, but definitely no appreciation over time.

I'd finish off painting the porch, steps and all trim the same white as the house.And if the roof is worn out, replace it with black Architectural shingles.A white and black theme with a new black mailbox to the left of the door with black house numbers above it.Add a light to the porch ceiling and paint the front door dark bottle green.Then alarm it and put an Alarm sign in the front yard (in a very visible place).That would be my curb appeal for the front.Good Luck!
