But as soon as one moves out, fresh paint.

I don't have your skills with that 3-D software.As to colors, I love the one someone posted here:  https://assets0.biggerpockets.com/uploads/uploaded_images/normal_1590115128-counter_crop.jpgIt's light and fresh, yet modern. 

And new applicants will have that nice fresh paint smell when they view it.Just look on YouTube for filling holes in drywall.What I suggest you do, is remember when you were a tenant. 

They will start complaining about this and that, and expect you do upgrade everything and just be a drag to work with and give you a lot of work.Whereas, if you fix the place up a bit - not saying you have to do major stuff - just even paint and clean and make it smell good and clean and freshly painted - and then you advertise it - you will then get tenants who are happy with it the way it is and with the price. 

You might want to consider a fresh cleaning or additional painting. 3.

I also lucked out because all my appliances, hvac, plumbing, and electrical was all very clean or fresh so I have had very few headaches.

Every tenant loves to smell fresh paint when they are shown an apartment... and if it is greige walls it will pop the molding which is music to a professional.1.

Fresh corn on the cobb in the corn trucks.. going to the farms and buying fresh cheese and meats etc.   

Maybe I should just do that and start fresh in my first house......
