Also, while a light grey is a safe bet and helps hide any imperfections when laid, going with a charcoal or black can also make things feel a touch more modern.

One lady processing tenant apps told me they had 4500 applicants for round 2 (Sept) and the cares website says they got 7500 applications for round 3 in November.

I would like to bring it up to a modern look and have the kitchen/bathrooms to be gutted and replaced.

Alas all this kind lady could tell us is that it was condemned because of the tall grass and she had no info on the owner.Luckily my partners sibling just started being a realtor.

I had some lady immediately say I would need to have the backyard fenced if she was to move in, instead of laughing I just was like feel free to look around and kinda ignored her and she didn't apply.My friend has a nice tenant after a couple months she realized that she didn't have a screened in porch like many of the neighbors.

Some nice wine and chocolate if they are ladies. 

I got my Real Estate license in October and began working on the side in an hourly position showing homes with a modern discount brokerage, with the intention of learning the market quickly and networking with other investors. 

This lady is trying to "game" you because she has something to hide in her rental history. 

What color should i go with to give it a modern fresh look?

As a back story, I asked the same question in a forum discussion and another local investor sent me her and another ladies info.
