What kind of painting quotes do you get? (interior)

[Dustin Beam]

Hello beautiful people of BP KC,

I'm getting an apartment worked on now. Frankly not sure I got the right guy(s), but that's a different story altogether and not about price. 

I got several quotes for a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment, approx 850 sqft, for ceiling and walls. I had one guy that was going to do it for a great deal, but had health problems and cancelled. The other guys quoted me around $1500-2700. 

That might be the going rate, but still a tough pill to swallow considering it might last 1-2 tenants. Obviously on reason why long term tenants are great. On the flip side, I'm replacing all the carpet w/ vinyl plank flooring for $2500 that, hopefully, I won't have to touch for 30 plus years. Much better ROI.

I know that it isn't an apples to apples comparison, but all the same, what kind of prices do you get? If you got someone that does good work for cheap, please PM me.

Thanks everyone
