You have one side of story. landlord however will be less likely to lie to fellow landlord and I weigh landlord references over all credit reports, and tenant provided information etc. perfect credit doesn't really matter if the last landlord told me the applicant was a nitpicker, always late with rent, dirty, or [insert nightmare issue here].please be sure to reference the screening primer to make sure you have all other aspects covered:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2011/3/31/screening-tenants-primer/

they sell 4X8 sheets of different panels in home depots and lowes's...usually they're located in millwork where the moldings are...they make them to look like woodgrain, bathroom tiles, etc..i've used the wood grain on the ends of cabinets before to do what you're trying to accomplish...it wasn't a perfect match, but it looked good enough that i was probably the only one to notice the difference

It's not perfect, but it's better than a SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess).

It may take quite some time to gather the capital, find the perfect house and execute!
