@Eric Tan, Hopefully you'll get a nice cross section of recommendations from folks here. 

@Elliot Tan You can assume his mortgage and rent it back to him at market rent for the privilege of assuming all the responsibility with the property, especially if he wants to buy it in a couple yearsHe:- gets to stay in the property without having to face foreclosure with his family- gets the responsibility of the property off his hands- gets the option to buy property within a couple yearsYou:- get a discount (assuming his amount to catch-up is lower than his equity in the property) - get ownership of the asset and all the benefits that come with it at least till he wants to buy it- get equity in the property while helping him stay in his house which you can sell to him at a stepped-up basisFor you to help him out, articulate the benefits to him and go from there

@Marie Tan Let me know if you have anything@Grey Goodman The biggest one that I am aware of locally is Desoto Holdings.

Quote from @Sandy Tan: i live in nyc and looking to buy my first rental property in Buffalo.

Brown and tan doesn't excite.  

Any kind of soft tan.

Wallpaper is "in" again - not sure how well it would adhere to a wall like that though.I'd steer clear of brown/tan/yellow walls - this is outdated. 

I want to use a light, neutral tan color on the inside, perhaps something similar to Benjamin Moore's Manchester Tan.And for the exterior I'm leaning toward a slightly darker tan, perhaps similar to Sherwin Williams Yearling.Also, based on previous posts I've read I'll most likely end up going to Home Depot and using Behr paint which is much cheaper but apparently almost as good.Any suggestions for paint colors, both interior and exterior?

I heard once that warm tan was a great color for the interior of a rental.

The light grays and tans are still popular here.
