Paint for condo getting ready to sell

Shawn S.

I have 1bd/1bath condo in Los Angeles that I purchased before I discovered BP. This was my former primary residence and the numbers don’t pencil out that favorably to make it a rental. So I plan to take my equity elsewhere. My question is what color should I paint the interior before selling it.

1. I’m planning on keeping the ceilings white and the baseboards white.

2. There are custom interior doors that are dark green and I plan to keep those as is or should I paint them?

3. Should I just paint the entire interior white to keep things simple and cheap or will a two tone be better? If so which colors?

4. Any recommendations for a painter in Los Angeles?

Thank you!!

 A suggestion from the peanut gallery for your walls:

Silverdrop is an very light grey/off white that goes great with white trim.

Good luck!
