Getting ready to rent out our townhouse?

Question

I want to get a head start on preparing our two level townhouse for rent. This is going to be my first time so I need advice; should I concentrate on making the interior look "neutral" so that the renter can design/decorate however they please? Or should I spend a little extra money to put "style" in to the rooms?

Any advice/suggestions/links to helpful websites/books greatly appreciated

definitely "stage" the townhouse.  renters are more apt to see themselves living there.  neutral is fine, but so is color.  the key really, is to make the house flow and keep free of clutter. one easy way to make the rooms flow is to use one of your colors in every room for continuity.  this link and short video should help. (the video is from the hgtv show "designed to sell" and they are staging a townhouse). good luck.  if you were here in Arizona, I'd love to help you. I love design and decorating!  http://realestate.aol.com/blog/2008/02/13/setting-the-stage-for-a-quick-sale-02/

I think you already answered your own question here when most people move into a house for the first time it is usually the basic white ceiling white wall they decorate how they like you dont know if your tenant is going to like what you have done, best to keep it neutral
