We use a warm off white since the floors and trim are oak and grey just looks bad/dark. 

Very deep dark gray and charcoal walls are popular as an accent wall though too- since organic materials such as warm wood shelving and indoor plants create a really nice contrast to that dark background.

Lots of “smoke and mirrors” that Toledo will appreciate this year but that’s all BS.

It's best to know what nullifies a property for Section 8 as well (such as a duplex that has a finished attic - only one set of steps to the attic bedroom = not Section 8 eligible.Regarding your apartment building - if you have mostly 1 bedroom units then you'll likely have less issues with Section 8 tenants as your tenants will tend to be older and the older tenants tend to not trash the place (the worst thing about my older Section 8 tenants over the years is most tend to smoke in the unit). 

Wouldn't want to be out there after dark

When the Public REITs first entered the marketplace, the aura that surrounded their holdings was that it was a bunch of off-market deals being consummated in a smoke-filled room for pennies on the dollar.
