Josh, sorry this is a repeat from another topic but I'd like to see the number of people (in a contrasting color) that are in the chat room in the nav bar on the left.

You need to see if they have any restrictions on paint colors and or what they allow you to do to the exterior before you make an offer. 

If you want to be the landlord that is fair, but firm, NOW is the time to show them your true colors and start things off on the right foot. 

Bills my company for all management costs, material costs, labor ...I am just writing checks and deciding room count etc, floor planning, maybe colors, only basic stuff.Who should insure what?

You have a range of color choices, often about 5, to choose from when repainting.

When I got started I feared putting out signs for my marketing, talking to sellers, spending money that I might not get back, worrying about people not wanting to sell me their home because of my skin color, not having the cash on hand to buy it, not pulling up to the house in a luxury car, etc, etc, etc...All these things are just inside your head.

I have also read that unusual envelopes (color, shape) are good too.

You might consider dying it a darker color after it's cleaned but all the spots don't completely come out.Also regarding the painting, you might be able to address some of the needs by adding an accent wall instead of repainting the whole room.
