@Jeff Copeland   our county sites here are not super accurate.. and we have both trustee sales and sherrifs sales.there is a product called property Radar  that tracks trustee sales in 3 or 4 states but they have a HUGE amount of other data on their site including google and non owner occ color coding.. its like 50 a month and boy is it one of the best I ever have used.I got a STRICT foreclosure here in Oregon in Nov. which non of the big foreclosure buyers were tracking and I credit prop radar for that one.. its has HUGE margins in it..

The pictures are of the ones under construction, they will add some cool colors to the exterior, but nothing crazy so it will still look modern and not dated 10 years from now.

But it does not matter how hard you try to convince someone that all the holes will be patched, the sawdust will be swept up, and that lavender bedroom is going to be the same neutral color as the rest of the house.

I have done a lot of Google-maps-viewing, made the big map of Columbus on a piece of a Bristol paper with ZIP codes coloring . 

. - Yeah, thats what I said too.  The

I have a licensed electrician who wanted to change the color of the outlets, that was not necessarry so it was on him, on the other hand a missing globe for a light I reimbursed.

@Jem JacalaFor the 4 corners you talk about if their like small holes they can be filled with wood putty with your wood color.

Any color other than this basic oak was more expensive.

If the property is in a color other than green, I immediately disqualify it and move on. 

We paint all our rentals in same colors so it transfers easily, much less waste.
