You WILL get a ton of NO's, F U's, etc ;) but those are just one step closer to that first YES.Another strategy is to bulk order stamps and colorful envelopes from Ebay and start hand-addressing those leads on the list.

I couldn't care less about granite or quartz tops or picking paint colors - focus on marketing.

If I put a carpet runner from the 1st floor all the way up to the 3rd floor, will this deter potential buyers since the colors may be *slightly* off?

Grab some in a color you like next time you're out.My boys wash the walls, I patch and cut-in freehand so very little time and expense masking and taping.  

I set them up every 3 months to start and if the tenant passed with flying colors, meaning that the place was clean and there was no sign of ongoing damage (like dogs scratching at the doors) then I made the interval longer.  

She convinced my wife to get rid of or hide a lot of stuff, paint the kitchen and dining room the same color and spent $400 or so at Target on a few decorating touches.

The simplest way, not the best or cleanest, but you don't need any special skills...Put your list into MS Excel.Highlight the column with the data you don't want duplicated, use the Conditional Formatting option to identify duplicates by highlighting the cells with duplicate information.Turn on Sort & Filter.Select the drop down arrow on the column that contains the duplicate values and choose, Sort by Color.Choose the highlight color you used for highlighting duplicates.It will bring all the highlighted items to the top. 

The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't work well when you have much texture on the ceiling.Also, when I am finished painting for the day and I will be painting with the same color again soon, I put the brush and roller in a plastic grocery bag and get as much air out as I can, twisting the bag on itself and tucking the end under the roller to hold it until I'm ready to use it again.
