My thoughts: Seek bank financing with owner carrying 20-30% down payment with prefviously mentioned terms.Seek cash investor to cover 20% down payment (numbers don’t seem to be attractive enough for a cash investor to bring in that kind of cash, but I may be wrong)Flat out tell the seller I’m looking to get in lighter than 20% and see how much he would.If i’m off my rocker, I would love to hear that too.

We had to rip off ALL the window trim and replace it with wood molding so that we didn't have to repaint the ENTIRE house a lighter color!

Another small tidbit: I almost always use a darker wood laminate but there are circumstances that call for a lighter wood so I have used a bamboo which can really pop and occasionally they have on sale at a good price.

I'm thinking lighter.

Or stick with antique white walls, white ceiling/trim and lighter carpet?

Car and Airplane traffic seems much, much lighter than last year.Zillow has 92314 appreciation pegged at 17% for 2022 but we know how well their predictive analytics worked out this year.Long term rentals have INCREDIBLE demand.

The hammer and and majic marker were a lot lighter than pushing a lawnmower around the neighborhood.

@Steve Babiak - do you do something other than Builders Risk is it is a lighter, mostly cosmetic rehab?

At least some of the colors need to be lighter since they will likely be in a bathroom for elementary age children.  

Since the prop was just rehabbed, it shouldn't need large capital improvements for awhile so you can get away with lighter cashflow (which is not net income) if you keep that 7200 sitting somewhere.
