If your walls are white or white-ish, you pick a darker accent color for all of your trim.

Here is the before and with the vines off...we still didn’t get all the little hairs of the vines off so we went with a dark color to hide what we couldn’t get. 

We offered less than asking and requested that the cosmetic work be left undone (because we'd prefer to pick the paint colors, etc.).

Our place was updated in a fan favorite color scheme (grays, whites), and furnished the same way. 

North Person street is becoming it’s own little community with bars, restaurants, coffee, ice cream.

If you like, reach out to me and I can provide you with the paints and colors that we use on our rental properties.

If the tenant passes all the standard screening checks with flying colors and can show POF, I would personally consider accepting a year up front. 

That kitchen sure is pretty.Nice colors, and the big hood thing over the sink--looks very nice.I could see a family living here long term and being very happy.Good Luck!

Basically it makes us feel 'comfortable'... if that word is allowed to be used to describe real estate investing.However, for out of state, we find ourselves feeling helpless with what we view as unpredictable markets (fluctuating values, and therefore fluctuating equity positions), long vacancy times (in the Springs, our houses get rented in a week or two, max), and of course, not being able to stop in and physically check out the property and talk with the tenants to mitigate any of their concerns (without having to play telephone through the PM).Basically what I am getting at, is that I am not sure if I just have rose-colored glasses with Colorado Springs due to it being a hot market at this point in time (and when we entered the market), or if others feel the same way in that Colorado Springs has a lot to offer in terms of it having a stable (and foreseeably strong) economy, decent price/rent ratios, and all around good investment potential for a long-term view.  

Colorful commentary, flippant statements, subjective opinions, and unsupported assertions are what seem to get people in trouble.
