Ok, I’m on my phone and just too lazy to search all the past forums.
I want an indoor paint color that I can put in every room, in every rental that I own. You know the routine. Easy to touch up without needing to match color. Buy in 5 gallon buckets and have it laying around. Easy to repaint entire units after a few years.
Doesn’t have to be a long answer, but what do you use for multiple units and properties?
A lot of great ideas from everyone! Many saying agreeable grey with white trim. However, I do not have white trim and don’t plan on painting all the trim.
So, I talked with my local Sherwin-Williams guy, and we decided Accessible Beige was going to be the easiest/best option since almost all my properties have the same type of trim. He seemed to think the grey would look a bit bluish in my properties. And, as the current walls are not a disaster, we may just get by with a single coat for this project.
we close on the property tomorrow (Aug 6, 2019), with both units empty. And I have 5 showings on day 1. So we need to churn and burn and start making some cash.
