What are the other colors in the neighborhood?

Also, make sure that there is only one person in charge of remodeling, if you get three people choosing granite, paint color, etc.

I know my PDX rentals rents rose 30% in last 3 years.  

Thanks @Iverem Rose!

and it gets back to that rust belt mid west /  vs our west coast arguments which are better.at the end of the day if your in a non appreciating market why buy a rental at all buy a different investment all together buy notes or buy small business that you can manage and make money.My best rentals in the mid west were new constructions hands down.. they break even all these years but the tax advantages and principal pay down is worth it.. since they are a breeze to manage and I have put less than 2500 into anyone of them over 7 years of ownership as again they were all brand new.. and the rents are the top rents for the county so I get white color tenants that keep the home as neat as my own. ( generally) I did have one get trashed. though..

Last summer I rented to a gentleman who had a colorful past however I had never screened my tenants based on criminal history...

A guy I know that does this in a tourist-y area gives long-term discounts over the off-season months, although we have skiing in winter, colors in fall, temperate summers, and colleges and other regular attractions so there's a strong mix of demand.

Hi All,      I used cozy.co to vet a potential tenant (credit and background) and the tenant passed with flying colors. 

What color should I paint these shutters and door?
