What's is your input on exterior color choice for rental property?

There a million ways to skin the cat with real estate investing.

I have been trying to get in the "game" for years but I'm not sure what to do. I have great deal in my hands but I can't make it happen. What do you do?

Thank you in advance Hi Michael,I'll address the scratching issue.The LVT WILL get scratched on move-in/move-outs and from random things being moved on it over time (plan on it).If you use the click-lock type replacing a single scratched piece will be a bigger (more costly) job than if you use other types.Replacement of a scratched piece (vs the whole flooring system) is a repair cost.Also, if you plan on getting 27.5 years of use out of that floor--it might look very dated way before then.Tastes/trends to get market rent seem to change about every 10 to 15 years (colors, etc...).

Then she complained about the color of the new mailbox so my fed-up maintenance guy painted it fugly & right over her name.

If you do go the syndication route, it is comforting to your investors that you have some skin in the game, but you don't have to put all 250k into it.

t's not an ethics thing, liens on houses don't happen in the dark and hard money lenders typically won't put a loan on a property that has a loan on it or allow a loan to come in in 2nd position.

One thing you should definitely do is with the staircase, a change you can make for cheap is to sand and stain the handrail a darker color and paint the balusters white.

I like one particular multi family sponsor who has full real estate cycle experience, uses conservative leverage and high skin in the game.
