cost to have a house painted

[Steve S.]

I've recently acquired a rental property.  It was last painted about 6-8 years ago.  It probably doesn't terribly need a paint job, but I'm considering having it painted so it looks nice for the new tenants.

A couple of questions for this 1,860 sq ft house in Waco, Tx built in the last 1970s:

- For this 3 bdrm / 2 bath house, what would a ball park cost be to have the whole things painted?

- How long does it typically take for a house this size to be painted?

I have a family member that's wanting to make some money and enjoys this kind of work so I'm trying to give them a fair price (and I'd provide the paint and materials).

What other information would be helpful to get a decent estimate or how would you go about getting an estimate?
