this was my second time updating a home for another investor. since i have been doing it for awhile the investor asked me to update it the same way i update our houses, same materials, colors, tiles, etc.the caabinets and counters are old, but bath is all new.here are some before and after pics - house on the left, was taking pic of the driveway..

Things like carpet can easily be replaced with something better (tile or hardwood floor or vinyl plank flooring), or an odd color in the kitchen can easily be painted to look a lot nicer.

I have fallen for the allure of cheap paint (Contractor paint at the big home stores) and paint color mix ups.  

Here is the carpet...http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unbranded-Viking-Color-Tapestry-12-ft-Carpet-0701649705/100548002

Even good vinyl siding starts to look rough 10-15 years in, and you can probably get 10 years out of a good paint job, especially if you use a lighter color (white or similar) for at least half the price of new siding. 

The guy left him a nasty voicemail with very colorful language.

I used Bob Hogue, passed in class and state exam first try with flying colors...

Bathroom could use a different paint color. 

They were always late, had dogs, chickens, painted rooms absurd colors, and got paint everywhere. 

When you are swaying in your policies from time to time you open yourself up for the angry tenant that had to move out by 12pm but found out that the tenant in 5b got out at 6pm with no charge. if it happens to be a color thing then it can look worse even though it wasn't meant to be. better to be safe than sorry.
