The counters and backsplash don't work with the color, which has a warm yellow hue.

What color gets the best/positive response?

I tile most, and usually use porcelain tile with a body color that matches surface so that I can cut tile base.

Color me retarded.

Some people like blue ink although if one studies colors and how a color motivates its easy to see why red is the choice.

It's just the best ink color.

I've had one tenant on a month-to-month for 15 years now.Invariably I will have new tenants ask for minor updates (so far just color of paint) and I couch that with saying that I generally don't entertain those requests until they've been there for a year.  

It doesn't cost me a lot more to do a neutral color and paint trims white and make the house stand out.

@Joel Owens cinder block walls and industrial lino works have seen it many times. for me only provide a stove... period. but I do like the prison concept.. seems like we are the wardens.cage the condenser..When I was buying and rehabbing I always put in a new sewer line to the street if it was 20 or more years old could get it done for 1 to 12oo before its an emergency and its one of the biggest maintenance items.And then the obvious I never put carpet in C properties.. most have hard would floors Paint them dark colors. let them use throw rugs. etc etc.bottom line is these homes are lived in roughly

I have found that standardizing paint color and not allowing any smoking really speeds up turnover unless it's a total remodel.
