Most blinds are tough and time consuming to clean, prone to breakage/creases, strings break and get stained etc. 

If it appreciates  10%, the return from appreciation is 12.5% (25% of the return of the higher LTV).  20% appreciation would produce a 25% return (25% of the higher LTV) $1945/month crease to the cash flow

People like to talk so once you have critical mass the conversations should in crease (number of topics, number of discussions per forum).John Corey

You can’t just paint it or it will look like a turd with the creases.

@Matthew JohnOne of the things that I always like to do in that position is in crease it and if you find a really good tenant (after screening, and checking everything) offer them a small yet significant discount if they are willing to sign a 2 or more year contract.

It'd be a slightly ugly 3 tab, but they'd miss the water damage to decking, missing granules due to hail, and lifted/creased tabs.

Account Closed There is no luck involved, only skill in creasing my ownership.

It can be done but it will have other ramifications.One way is to ask your bank for a 15% down mortgage.Another, ask the seller to pay closing cost and in crease the sales priceFinally, consider a lower loan plus a line of credit.

If you are patient, or don't like buying/storing tools you will rarely use, you can do the same thing with needle nose pliers one crease at a time.
