I agree with him that you should do a podcast ... will never happen, though, I'm affraid ... besides the skype problem, you'd need to be a professional BMX biker or commercial fisherman or something more interesting that has been doing REI on the side for a year or two and talk about puppy dogs and ice cream and how wonderful and low risk it is to invest out of state in a high cash flow market rather than a lowly, evil, speculative, local west coast developer and lender with decades of experience.

Gotta change that.You need a way to prioritize what you find.All sales are best handled with a system for disqualifying opportunities. this means, you need a way to sort the high shot deals from the batch and, more importantly, eliminate the cream of the crap.I use the PETIO system.

I like the trim color at least in the picture as it looks cream.  

Im sure you realize that there are at least 100 shades of white/cream out there.-  J - I normally don't like to paint masonry but you can't fix ugly masonry colors without it.

I cant remember the color off hand (kind of a cream color with semi gloss white trim), but I did go with a good quality paint Behr premium ultra thinking that it will hold up longer. 

After installing the granite, I am now contemplating staining or painting them a different color, perhaps a dark espresso stain OR paint them a beige cream either of which would match the granite.  

What about cream or forest green?

The cream of the crop are side by side units with garages (my opinion) Without knowing the details about your needs, expectations and pricing its hard to say what areas you would consider "good."

His lawyer told him that if she got in front of the judge with that  plastic bag of paint chips, he would get creamed.

@Brian GawronskiBrian - As a newbie to Birmingham I have to ask if you have Johnny Ray's BBQ and tried any of the cream pies?
