This leaves borrowers vulnerable to rate movements, which can affect loan proceeds and other terms.Hope this helps provide some color on what options are out there! 

I have seen agents use colorful sticker on the cubical walls.

I've prepared a data spreadsheet and would like to know how accurate is my data, and if there is anything important I missed.The blue color data was taken from the US Census Bureau, green from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and black from different sources, including Bigger Pockets, Zillow and other sites.Thank you!

I personally wouldn't touch anything on the "400" block from Rose to Highland (just my opinion though).             

It's full of dings, dents, scratches (I live in South Philly, nothing but street parking), missing a hub cap, and its in "crap gold" color.

They have some really wonderful colors/styles, tile has came a loooooong way and is really great now!

The old stuff looks clean and not dreadful, and is in neutral colors, but isn't that nice (e.g. the cabinets are kind of rickety and the DW/fridge don't really fit all that well into the space made for them, the floors aren't missing pieces, but also are a bit uneven in places).  

I would make sure the units have modern appliances including dishwashers and modern color schemes.

It could turn out good or bad.Of course we have a colorful President who is the wild card in all this.
