I would personally choose a blend of brrr and house hack that way you can get your get your feet wet in building a real estate team, learn about analyzing deals (and having deals be more forgiving), learn the whole transaction process and learn about property management, all while being on site.

I also rent to a lot of blended families so the extra bedrooms help with the kids and help give them some privacy which is nice as well. 

But if you decide to buy them yourself, choose neutral color - or something that blends well with the wall.

Find a location where you can blend the above.

Cbus offers a great blend of cashflow + appreciation.

Just a really neutral light grey light tan blend will appeal to the huge majority of buyers.

Hotels use percale sheets (cotton polyester blend) and so do we - they last, and they're comfortable.

I might consider a blend of the two above strategies.

you should've taken it off the mls and relisted a lot sooner. price slashes will only make you look desperate. the pictures are making the house look too cold and not bright enough, imho. not a fan of tile in the living area. it just blends with the hole house. also, your bathroom counters look cheap. granite would've made it look better and cost marginally more. you already got enough feedback as is, so I can only wish you to sell this asap, even if you have to break-even or take a small loss. 

If I turn the unit every other year, my vacancy is 1.9% blended over the 2 year period.
