Hi @Josh Baron and @Derrick Watkins,Welcome to BP.  

I have lots of tools and expertise.Funny story: On another rental, years ago, I painted the house deep pink with purple trim.

To be honest they could paint the walls bright pink so long as they agree to return it to the original state before leaving or use part of their deposit to return it to the original state and I wouldn't care.Three things to ponder: 1.

There's two fairly large rooms in the basement, one is the aforementioned "artist quarters" and the other is what I call "the pink room"........its a crazy pink...room. 

Pink Flamingos on the lawn?

You can be feminine, financially savvy, have a killer net worth, wear pink AND whip up a mean spreadsheet to analyze a deal!

Ed Barone, your ability and willingness to share and respond in a professional manor is very helpful and kind.

Nice find for a long term investment.Looks like a nice neighborhood.I see some bigger homes too, that's always nice.I noticed the builder made all of them with those little model T garages.Out here in Texas a 2 car garage is more desirable, but you (gotta dance with the date you brought).I did a mockup to see what it would look like with a 2 car garage a porch and a paint shade that takes advantage of that pretty pink tree in the front yard.The results are interesting looking (but probably financially unsound).Maybe just cutting the grass back to the concrete edge and caulking the cracks in the concrete might be a good (bang for buck) improvement?

For example, the Birmingham Barons $64 Million Dollar state of the art baseball stadium called Regions Field,  located on 1st Street in downtown celebrated its grand opening on April 10, 2013.

The pink styrofoam is required by the city.
