I've also seen many flip investors using the exact same finishes as their competition often resulting in houses with the exact same finishes for several doors around (same bath tile, kitchen tile, paint colors, etc.)I realize a lot of this answer ties back to bottom line, but if you could hire an affordable interior designer/space planner/stager who would advise/consult from the beginning to the end of the project, wouldn't it be worth it to have your property sell fast or even sell BEFORE it finished?

I cannot stand "retail home buyers" who cringe about wall paint colors, etc. 

Just as the pandemic has disproportionately affected communities of color, racial disparities in the ability to afford housing influence families’ vulnerability to evictions now.

Sometimes I make even more money on my flips as the client might have specific paint colors they want or other requests that I will do "for a price".

The kitchen is the worst though... wood paneling, ugly colored door and window frame paint, some 70s-style laminate sheet type of floor that's peeling at the edges, etc.

If it's heavy texture be prepared to answer questions about water damage as if you were covering up stains.If it were summer, I'd trim the box hedge lower and put some colorful flowers on the porch.

What is unethical is to paint every room a different color, let your dogs pee on all the carpet, and move out leaving filth everywhere-- letting the lender foreclose.

The new buyers wanted to know what the house could look like, with the colors,materials and products they are wanting, so he conposed a virtual tour for them.I don't know what a CAD draftsperson would charge for this, but seems like it would be cheaper than buying and storing furniture in some instances.

I have explained that her client could pick color of carpets, paint, lighting etc.

Should be able to pick up a styrofoam one and cut to size then paint whatever color you want.
