With vinyl plank, the color goes all the way through (at least the ones I have bought had this), so even if you gouge it with a key, it still doesn't show like other flooring with just a surface color.

Working with pros is much easier than a young couple who wants a bedroom painted a different color and need to get their loan approved!

I also use ONE paint color for every wall in the house, a neutral off white/pale tan color, this way with multiple units, retouches are easy.Personally I LOVE color.

The simplest way, not the best or cleanest, but you don't need any special skills...Put your list into MS Excel.Highlight the column with the data you don't want duplicated, use the Conditional Formatting option to identify duplicates by highlighting the cells with duplicate information.Turn on Sort & Filter.Select the drop down arrow on the column that contains the duplicate values and choose, Sort by Color.Choose the highlight color you used for highlighting duplicates.It will bring all the highlighted items to the top. 

Three months ago, I had made a bold decision to permanently move out of California and come to Jacksonville, Fl seeking opportunities and like-minded people.

She convinced my wife to get rid of or hide a lot of stuff, paint the kitchen and dining room the same color and spent $400 or so at Target on a few decorating touches.

You WILL get a ton of NO's, F U's, etc ;) but those are just one step closer to that first YES.Another strategy is to bulk order stamps and colorful envelopes from Ebay and start hand-addressing those leads on the list.

I set them up every 3 months to start and if the tenant passed with flying colors, meaning that the place was clean and there was no sign of ongoing damage (like dogs scratching at the doors) then I made the interval longer.  

If I put a carpet runner from the 1st floor all the way up to the 3rd floor, will this deter potential buyers since the colors may be *slightly* off?
