Walmart Paint - A Long or Short Term Problem?
Quick Question...
I know plenty of folks (myself included) are not fans of Walmart paint.
However: I have a property that needs to be painted and a tenant who is willing to paint it. With Walmart paint. Does this cheap paint have issues beyond application? I will not be keeping the walls the colors the tenant has chosen, so my thought process is that I'm merely pushing my inevitable paint project down the road when I have someone else in there.
I just want to make sure I won't be causing more trouble for myself down the road with cheap paint to go over. Thoughts?

If the tenant is willing to provide the labor (and you are confident he/she has some painting skills), why don't you buy the paint? This way you get your rental painted with good quality paint, and you get free labor.
There may needs further consultation on the color - perhaps you can agree on something the tenant likes but that is still neutral enough for future renters.
