One of the subs dragged boards across it and stacked two full five gallon buckets of paint on top of each other in a room.  

I've kept the security deposit dozens of times exactly to clean the carpet and paint the walls.

During this two week period owners go in and paint everything and pretty regularly replace the carpet, not to mention repair anything else.

On a typical move-out/move-in job I had my "standard" tool box plus a materials box containing;the standard paint color I used for rentals-Navajo White, a bunch of paint stirring sticks (for sheetrock repair more than stirring paint), a couple of pieces of sheetrock 2' X 2', Elmer's glue, sheetrock screws, switch plates, a couple of outlets and switches, scrubbing stuff and chemicals, DOORSTOPS, light bulbs, mineral spirits and linseed oil and 000 steel wool for touching up stained wood, paper towels, TOILET PAPER, rags, paint brushes, SMALL LADDER, joint compound.Once you've gone through every room doing the "touch ups" you'll have a good idea if you need to come back with your 8' and extension ladders, paint rollers and 5 gallon can of paint and drop clothes.

Check label on paint or specific thinner or solvent OR 2.

I try to use the same products from house to house, I always buy extra, it a pain when you run out of paint or flooring etc. so I buy extra and keep it for the next house. a efficient system will get the homes done quicker and make more money

Proper due diligence includes an Asbestos Survey, Lead (paint and ceramic tile) Survey, Property Condition Assessment (ASTM E2018 - I helped write it), and for many properties, a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment.

I have a house ready to rent , I went to get the Lead paint certification , and the inspector told me i got some bad news for you .

Assuming that I engage a general contractor (who was recommended on BP) to do a rehab work on a property (nothing heavy, probably a 10K to 15K rehab work (external and internal painting, flooring, kitchen etc.), being an out of state investor and not being able to monitor his work directly, do you think I should hire someone local as a project manager to supervise the GC's work (that is if I find somebody who can take such a project manager job for 1 or 2 thousand dollars) or can rely on the GC to do his work and may be ask my property manager to check his work a couple time during rehab ( in the middle and after the rehab work)?

I would have at least put some fresh paint in there and then added some nicer lighting in the ceiling to jazz it up some.
