I think you have to paint the picture of a long and happy future together and that it can be enhanced by Real Estate investing and that it need not take up time in your lives. 

And you in the peanut gallery- I know, there are interest-only mortgages, but most investors don't use them.)So in summary, and apologies for the extremely long post, I just got rolling and couldn't help myself, real estate enhances the best in investors by inhibiting panic selling during kerfuffles of one sort or another, and suppresses the worst in us, which is our unwillingness to save money on a regular basis.

Painting it is the way to go; the siding will last for a long time and the painting will enhance the appearance.
