Hi, I would like to hear from other experienced landlords how long it takes for you to get an apartment in rentable shape, 

I'm talking in a situation where  it's not in terrible shape, kitchen bathroom are ok, walls aren't Coming apart . But it needs a thorough good paint job, ripping out old carpet, putting new ones,  or scraping g hardwood floors etc.

In the situation you're describing it take me 4 days for a 2 bedroom 1.5 bathroom unit unless I'm replacing floor covering in which case it's usually a full week and maybe almost 2 weeks.

In 4 days, worst case 5 days, I can get a thorough cleaning and painting, inside and out, even removing doors from hinges if needed.

In that time window I can also have a plumber replace a faucet or an electrician replace a bathroom vent fan, minor stuff, if needed.
