Our work consisted mainly of repainting the whole place, inside and out, which included replacing a fair amount of the trim boards on the exterior, installing new copper gutters and flashings, a few minor repairs to the slate roof (no leaks), a new driveway and garage floor, new garage flat rubber roof, renovating 2 full bathrooms that we used a lot of pretty expensive tile in, all floors except the sunroom had hardwood floors that were sanded and refinished, the sunroom had a travertine floor installed.

generally, it's the owner's responsibility to repaint depending on your contract, because most good paint life is ~3 to 5yrs in rentals 3. does the carpet need replacing? 

Probate took almost a year to sort out, but sure enough, once the relative who inherited the place had title we received a phone call, which led to Friday's closing.The numbers look like this:Purchase price - $30,000Down payment - $15k, plus $2000 closing costs (high, but in the PA we agreed to pick up the seller's closing costs so they would net $30k)plus $1k for repainting and new fixtures = $18k total out of pocket costs to closeLoan - Private loan of $15k @ 5% for 4 years. 

I had just an eviction case which was totally avoidable IMO.Also the PM refused to list my property and find tenant, unless I repaint the wall (which was painted 5 months ago and looks totally fine to me). 

I would like to know what all qualifies as completely clean here- Electrical wiring is normal and no unlicensed modifications - Structural inspection is also clean.Seller is ready to discount the price by ~20% from market plus the cost to repaint the whole house What are other questions to ask and things to consider in this scenario?

Hello everyone,I have a 3 rooms that need to be repainted.

My concern is we are still stripping off lead paint from the exterior of the home in sections and then repainting as we go, we will most likely be presenting an unfinished property to appraise.

For instance, in a pure fix and flip, repainting would add to your basis. 

It really sucks to rent your $175K Fountain Square home to 3 young professional roommates at $1,950/mo to have to spend $12,000 after 3 years to deep clean, change flooring, repaint the entire home, etc.

Ive done a pretty good job before but would advertise after the old tenants moved out and I had repainted and repaired any damage BUT I missed out on rent until then.
