It's not necessarily bad in and of itself, but it clashes with the countertop and backsplash -- kind of "mediterranean vs. urban" or something.

I'm almost a little jealous of everyone on here talking about their creative finance deals and how fast they are growing, etc. and we're like the tortoise just plodding along, saving money and paying cash :)  Slow and steady, I guess!  

I'm vacationing now in the sunny Mediterranean Sea (it's 80 degrees and perfect beaches btw) but returning 11/15.

If you weren’t going to remodel in a year, I was going to suggest going with a 70’s theme - add some bright prints with orange or avocado green for curtains and pillows, macrame plant hangers, and dark Mediterranean furniture, which was popular back then. 

I know based on my own extensive travels that it often has to do with the feeling a place gives.I love the Mediterranean style and my future properties are planned to be close to beaches makes me wonder if that is something that should go into the furnishings and color schemes as well as potentially the name of the enterprise.

Real Estate is a great way to make piles of cash fast but when you are just getting started without cash and little to no experience or education your investing tends to take off the starting line more like a tortoise.  

It's definitely not a get rich quick scheme, the tortoise and the hair come to mind when I am dealing with Real Estate Investing slow and steady wins the race.

Flipping and renting is like the tortoise and the hare race.
