| In China, red symbolizes prosperity, protection, and welcoming energy, and so is a popular front door color for occupants, especially when facing south. Here in the United States (we’re still united, right?) it doesn’t take long before “occupancy fraud” is on everyone’s lips in residential lending. Occupancy is not a partisan issue, right?
