Otherwise, its likely that you will have to have some skin in the game.  

@Robin Wilk I considered painting it all one color but would prefer to get rid of them if it's not a crazy expense.

One of the major things that I am seeing is that people are wanting more white (or similar) cabinets vs the dark wood cabinets in the kitchen.

You have no skin in the game and for that level of risk why not just buy the property themselves?

How much to paint two colors (wall color and trim)? 

welcome to the dark  side :)

If you look at red/pink as A, yellow as B, light green as C and dark green as D.  

You need to have thick skin for this business.

for many reasons I don't like it... its clouds title and what happens if the wholesaler does not perform say with increased EM at the right time.. his contract is still on title for the say 60 day period.. but he defaulted at 14 by not increasing EM... but he is a flake and just goes dark...

The notion that venture capital money is a significant player in Bay Area RE values, expressed earlier in this thread, is a bit weak to me.Ultimately a check on Bay Area real estate values is, and will continue to be, that jumbo loans require a little more skin in the game than 3.5% down OR have terms/conditions/rates that drive away intelligent young tech workers (they tend not to be in love with over-leveraging as much as our BP community members are... especially when it's a place to live, not a pure investment).
