All my rentals are textured and painted the same color of semi-gloss.  

Last year the bill was 13k, I cant imgine it going down anytime soon.Upon closer insection, I've found that the property has virtually no storage, or built-inssmall rooms for such a large homeawkward kitchen with  kind of a dated color scheme (green marble tile on top of wood counters, yikes!)

They have made nail holes in the wall and patched poorly with different color and I had my painter paint the whole house without charging the them.

My experience getting started as a part time agent, Working as a Project Manager during the day building high-rises in NYC and currently a 114 unit apartment building in Westchester, I find myself only going into the office to make balloons for open houses and print off color copies.

_That splash of color really relieves the earth tones. 

Use the single heir's quit claim deed to create color of title by filing it with the district clerk.

What are the current trends in flooring, counter tops, cabinets paint colors, lighting, landscaping, etc.

Adverse Possession is considered favorable to public policy in all 50 states and commonwealths.This is why it is addressed statutorily in each jurisdiction.The difficulty some of the posters are having difficulty with is the application of statutes and are confusing the use of AP as a tool to resolve a transfer of ownership matter with a lazy squatter who is ignorant of laws and takes no legally supportive steps beyond possession to acquire title.Adverse Possession is accomplished in too ways: 1) Color of Title, whereby a possessor is relying in good faith upon transfer document(s) which, upon its face, appears to pass legal record title but, for reasons not apparent, fails to do so; and,2) Claim of Right, whereby the possessor has taken possession of the affected property in and open and notorious way, hostile manner (without permission of record owner), exclusively, fenced it, improved it, paid all prior and current taxes for the prescribed period, etc. 

To the flooring it is my guess it was painted with kilz to mask a pet smell at some point in time as it was and still is cheaper to do that and put carpet in then to refinish the floors.Good Luck.
