For example, South Side, an old neighborhood along the river but close to the city has a vibrant college/artist population and will pay big rents.

It is also a vibrant community where you will meet tons of good people and make lots of contacts locally and all over that will help as your business grows.

If you're in a big and vibrant city, it probably is.

I actually am using some vibrant colors in certain rooms when they fit and have been getting great feedback from buyers.

In Denver and Colorado Springs, we see a diversified strong economy (Covid notwithstanding), a relatively low unemployment rate, an attractive quality of life, a vibrant city attracting young people, new companies and tons of leisure activities.

Chattanooga has four distinct seasons, a vibrant downtown, a healthy job market, and a ton of outdoor activities.  

Its like the person who complains that there is nothing to do during the weekend in LA (insert city with a vibrant scene) when in actuality they don't have any friends (lack dealflow)... and by the no one likes (has a bad attitude and that person who makes excuses”What are some markets that would be safer for a new investor like me to enter during this time period? 

I'm in south FL, which is currently a vibrant seller's market. 

I'm thinking the door that's actually being used as an entryway is the one that should be upgraded while the other door can maybe get a fresh coat of a nice, vibrant paint to give it a fresh, clean look?

Generally speaking I have seen the best short and long term relationship being made with a mid-sized regional banking entity, thin 3 to 10 branch locations, who primarily operates in the standard banking space with a vibrant business banking side, who upon inquiring does do some portfolio lending.
