@Maureen Campbell yes, I have a designer on my real estate team that also flips, she chose interior and exterior colors, granite, backsplash, flooring, all I had to do was purchase material and instruct GC on what goes where etc  she's a great resource for me

Only a refer and stove  .. no garborator no dishwasher no laundery.so at tenant turn over it was high pressure hose and wash it all out.. genius really.most of my guys in the lower end stuff  have older homes that have hard woods under the carpet they rip carpet out and just paint the hard wood.. some will stain.. those are much easier to care for they have character when you have flaws in them.others I know that have carpet instead of replacing they just dye them a darker color to match the stains. until the carpet ends up very dark brown.. you simply can't compare your SF  high rentals to rentals in other markets you know that you wen through it in PHX..  

They seem to last and most times they only sell them due to the finish color. 

I would imagine that to look fine with any material you pick as long as you can get them to match the wood stain color. 

We use the same color paint in all of our houses so that we can paint just a small portion of the walls.

Removed old floor tile ( dark green ) from kitchen, dining and utility room and put in 18†neutral color Tile.

This is the Barcelona color with a mission style door.

There are sprays that reduce seal wood to burn odor,,,looks rather whitish or gray in color.

I would just assume keep the walls smooth in the kitchen and bathroom and go with a different color in there as well.

We considered one a few years ago, some rich girl's dad had bought it for her, she trashed it then lost it...there was graffiti on the walls, multiple cats, weird paint colors, and dirt cheap but would have been a stunner with some time and money thrown at it.
