I own multiple multi family properties and get a couple a week and don't care what color they are, they're all a waste of time as I never look at unsolicited inquiries . 

For one of our rentals we painted the paneling light color and did nice white trim, looks good but we weren't selling. 

I have others I know in the area turn lights on or off if I won't be there for more than two days.

I was so freaking tired, I would put my car in park at red lights and take a nap.

Meaning light renovations at best.From what I've read, these funds are only looking to produce 6-8%, as they can borrow at ridiculously cheap rates; easy to see why they're bidding prices well away from the average small investor.

YOU are already light years ahead of most your age.

If some regulator type comes alonng and reclassifies the loan, the whole loan will be viewed in a different light and then you're out of compliance.

The front porch light is rusted & the range hood is archaic.

Ha, I guess there are worse names.Anyhow, I am 23 years old, and have been lightly, and I mean very lightly, just dabbling in multiple aspects of real estate for the past couple years, give or take.

Also even if they have extra sheets laying around and you need to replace damage the color will not match perfectly.
