How long to paint a unit yourself?

[Robert Hernandez]

All,

I have a unit in a quadplex that I recently purchased vacant. There were long term tenant in their before and my PM recommend a repaint to get it rent ready or to at least get market rate. Is paint that huge of a deal?

The unit is 2br/1.5 bath, 1150 sqft, celing is about 7ft-7.5 ft high. Two stories.

From the description that I described how long would this take to paint myself? And also how long would it take paint with 1 more person, I am thinking about hiring a handyman that I know in the neighborhood. People who have painted themselves (DIY) how long does it take for you to paint/prep? I am hoping to knock this out in a weekend.

I got quotes at around $3/sqft (which is about average in my market).
