It is nothing fancy, with white/gray tile from Fleur Delacour. 

Quote from @Libby Louer-Thompson: How would you structure a deal to buy a duplex if one partner is planning to live in the duplex and the other partner lives out of the area.

Quote from @James Thompson: I have a relative that is willing to partner with me on a longterm rental deal.

My area of focus has been south Philly (Point Breeze, Newbold, Grays Ferry) and some areas of north Philly (Fairmount, Brewerytown, etc).

Can't open or zoom in to the pics but ... lighter tan/brown for the left one, med-gray or Weathered Wood (very common) for the right one.There's usually no price difference on Colors (SOME times, the solid Blacks or Greens may cost more, because they have to add more dye into the mix to make them and all) BUT, the "availability" of them (recently) DOES make a big difference it seems. 

@Kristine Thompson, if the association has healthy reserves, and proper insurance, and you have documentation in writing that HOA addressed the issue, you should be good.If no propert documentaiton that issue is addressed, contact HOA in writing and ask them to provide more documents/photos that issue got fixed

Maurice Thompson is currently reviewing this new law to see if there's anything we can do about it. 

@Jonathon Thompson unfortunately this is Commiefornia (as my bud @Dennis M. calls it).

@Jasmin Thompson I just closed on a property in Killeen and used Nexus Capital and so far so good.
