And my daughter has an artistic side so she helps with color schemes. 

@Naseer Khan you may be right but it was my interpretation of the CA LLC law below (bolded for the citation I am referring to):Under California law, all LLCs are required to annually file a California tax return and pay at least an $800 California franchise tax if they: Engage in any transaction in California for the purpose of financial gain or profit.Are incorporated or organized in California.Have qualified or registered to do business in California.Are “doing business” in California, whether or not they incorporated, organized, qualified or registered under California law.The Franchise Tax Board (“FTB”) takes the position that an LLC organized in a jurisdiction outside California is nevertheless “doing business” in California if: It is a member of an LLC that does business in California.It is a general partner in a partnership that does business in California.Any of the LLC’s members, managers, or other agents conducts business in California on behalf of the LLC.In addition, an out-of-state LLC is “doing business” in California if: The LLC is commercially domiciled in California (i.e., California is the place where realistic control of the LLC’s functions is centered).Sales, including sales by the LLC’s agents and independent contractors, in California exceed the lesser of $500,000 or 25% of the LLC’s total sales.Real or tangible property of the LLC in California exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or 25% of the LLC’s total real and tangible property.The amount paid in California by the LLC for compensation exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or 25% of the total compensation paid by the LLC

I think everyone would agree that this "fear monger" describe anything with rose colored glasses :) ... but the main difference is I could properly assess, avoid, and mitigate these risks locally where as I could not out of state even with all the technology and driving out to visit on a monthly basis.

I also like the speciality paint store (where I go Ben Moore, for example) just for  consistent service and expertise (hit or miss at the big box there).Then hard to beat the old school prep with tsp and  a good sponge mop (just damp) and rinse with clean water (damps sponge mop)...and primer for major color changes or spots  and stains..The good paint in luster you can clean also makes turnarounds easy...clean the walls (as mentioned) and you may only have to touch up..Finally, if you can go with one color/brand for the interiors of your rentals you will save time trying to match color or organize endless paints in your garage...best of luck

If your metrics support better response to a particular smell, then you'll be able to state within reason that a certain scent actually has effect on persuading an unsuspecting home owner to unload their property for a 30% discount.In my previous life, I dabbled in such new-fangled marketing management concepts; smell, color of letter, time day of week (Thursday, Fridays & Saturdays are the happiest for a person!

Consider a cream color, this give it a warmer feel. 

Traveling with a spouse or a partner in regards to meals get a little gray, it's one of those vague rules "is the expense reasonable and ordinary" It's a good idea to get them involved so there is no question, for example my wife does the books and picks colors and finishes.Hope this helps, travel safe!

It is even color cordinated...dark green means go... red - purple means, well maybe no.
