So this month she shows up with her portion of the rent (shes section 8 and they pay most of her rent) and its $80 light.

I chatted with a couple of attorneys and they all give the green light but the banks are worried about going forward because I'm trying to use FHA and its a little too grey for their preferences.Thanks everyone!

Hi Sylvia,If it were mine,  (and if I wanted to spend the money):I’d leave it all white and,Put black shutters on all front windowsGet rid of the cement circle in the front yard.Berm the driveway with soil to the grade of the cement (liability issue)Paint the utility box on the left side white to blend in.Paint the front door blackPaint the breather medallion at the peak black(Spray) white on the porch railing and uprights.Add some  low maintenance evergreen bushes to the left side that are just above porch floor height.Rewire the over garage light to 3 lights (1 to the right of the front door, one on either side of the garage) and use brass classic looking carriage lights.Convert the over garage light to a motion sensor with 2 flood lights for tenant safety and tenant retention.Put Large Brass house number to the right of the door at an upward angle.Good Luck with your decisions!

I still have to install light fixtures & finish painting the kitchen cabinets.
