Depending on the overall style of the house, painted paneling can add a nice texture and give character to an otherwise neutral house.

We have a good quality blue carpet in the home currently and are trying to decide whether to keep it, replace it with a more neutral color or replace with some form of wood flooring, laminate flooring or tile flooring throughout.

I had trouble picking a neutral accent row color that would look good and give the shower some pop. 2.

 $40K "cash flowing" property in IN or $400K "cash neutral" property in CA?  

I'm glad to see some getting off their a$$ to make it happen instead of being stuck in constant neutral.  

Then if there is ever a dispute about payment history there is a neutral 3rd party.

Sell at a loss and become cash flow neutral?

Leave out the accent colors and make rooms features neutral and cohesive.

Also, if you have a short term loan on the property, assume 5 or 10 year term, and you're cash flow neutral or os slightly cash flow negative, is the UBIT still a concern?

In regards to crunching the numbers I'd say it's probably best case a cash flow neutral situation and more work than you think with renting it yourself.
