Cracks in the foundation, dangling wires, three layers of roofing material on the roof, broken fixtures, off color carpet areas, spots on the ceilings, soft spots in the walls in the bathroom where water has penetrated, swampy areas in the lawn.

@Shirea Carroll Here are just a few that specialize in real estate that I've had closings for properties in the Charleston area:Flynn Max Miller Miller (located in Huntington)Metz Law office (located in Hurricane and Charleston)Bailey & Slotnik (located in Charleston)Bestitle (located in either Charleston and Hurricane. they have other offices as well)I don't want to give favoritism over one or the other.

If you play my favorite card game called "Monopoly Deal" you will learn the real life lesson before owning property: if you don't have cash-flow AND extra cash reserves in an account to protect your investments, you will lose them sooner or later.   

Apparently someone doesn't like color, because everything on the outside of this house is white!

Is it best to paint the bathroom and kitchen walls a different color from the other walls?

And I like painting the hollow core doors a contrasting color instead of matching the trim to add some interest.

Here are some of my favorite areas I wouldn't mind investing in:Little VillageMcKinley ParkBrighton ParkArcher Heights

I'll be deciding which optional things to do, and I'm having to make decisions about things like flooring & wall colors much earlier than I'd prepared to. 

Paint it in the same color of the fireplace, so it should look quite neat overall.

What color do you suggest for this SFH?
