In our best practices segment today, Ron and Mike from one of the two companies that manage Ron’s rentals discuss the value of hiring a management company to procure tenants, collect rent, supervise repairs and do all of the other things that many landlords simply don’t have the time to do. If you have rentals that you self-manage, this interview could change your mind.  In our feature today Donna Hoffman briefs us on the move away from off-whites and greys and the introduction of darker colors. The good news: you inexpensively stay on trend with simple, darker accent pieces.
