The kitchen is small so be mindful with color contrast. 

I like the idea of getting a quit claim deed from an heir because that would at least give you color of title and standing to pursue a quiet title action. 

Some people say white sheets are best, but I actually prefer colored/patterned sheets for a touch of personality.

Picking the colors was the hardest part for me :) (this was personal residence).

They think it's all about picking cute colors and designing nice kitchens.

Despite what the lease said, they painted the condo (poorly, and a horrible color), installed a backsplash (again poorly, which had to be ripped out), stained the kitchen cabinets, spray painted the patio, destroyed carpets with filth, and caused $7K in overall repairs.

Finally, get a quality roofing firm and use an attractive mid grade shingle (at least) and even think some of the shingle color to compliment the brick and colors..

@Tariq Sabbah to add some color to pro's of being an agent and representing yourself:As mentioned, find your own deals, schedule your own showingsA big one I see is being able to waive my commission. 

And if I feel that the client will be subject to too much rework, just for the reason that they don't like the color or what not, that's a waste of my time also, i have schedules to keep, and every delay is a domino effect to the next.

I could see the fungus in the black mold and the new lighter color fungus spreading down the beams.
