Painting the (House) Red

This is based on a true story. I knew some people that painted their rental's living room red and the kitchen green. And unless the people who lived there wanted it to be Christmas year-round, the place wouldn't get rented. I can't tell you how many people showed up, took a look at the place and wanted the paint changed before they moved in.

As it turns out, there are more rules to real estate than location, location, location.

End result of that rental? It had to be rented much lower than the usual rent would be in the area. What's true of rentals is true of homes for sale as well. Never underestimate the power of paint. Go for neutrals, not necessarily whites that tend to "whitewash" the architechture. Go to your local paint store and spend some time looking at the contemporary neutrals.

It will be worth it!
