Nice house!  I would power wash it first and see how it looks.  If it's a little shabby, get a price to see what it would cost to paint (siding and soffits only).  It would probably cost about $1,000 to $1500 to paint.  Will you get that money back out when you sell? I would not paint the brick, unless that is a popular thing to do in your area.  

Jake, do you have any problems with damage to the floors during move in/outs?  How about any problems with tenants hooking the appliances up wrong and causing water damage? 

Great post! Thanks for sharing. 

Thank you all for your answers!  Many great comments on things I never though of i.e. Scratching floors, not hooking up water correctly and causing leaks, and getting stuck with tenants left over appliances. 

It seems like the majority do supply a fridge, but not a washer/dryer. 

I am about to rehab my first property as a buy and hold rental.  It is a 3 bed 3 bath SF home.    Part of my rehab will be a new kitchen including new cabinets, range, dishwasher and counter tops, etc.    My question is, should I supply a new refrigerator for the kitchen?  Also, should I also supply a washer and dryer?

I have a friend who has several SFR's in my market, who told me they never supply these in their properties, and that it's not a problem for their tenants to supply their own.

What would you like to know?  I'm sure someone can help

I work with T Hurt construction. (402) 510-9585. They do good work. I would recommend them.  They are "higher-end" construction. If that's what you're looking for. 

I have other names if you're looking for more economical 

Both @Michael Woodward and @Laureen Youngblood are right.  There are so many variables when it comes to cost of exterior painting.  The best way would be to call a painting contractor and get a quote (or 2 or 3).  If you don't have the time and need to gestimate, @Laureen Youngblood is spot on with her the prices she mentioned.

I would say most of the exterior houses we paint in my area cost about $3,000 to $4000.

Can we get a head count of who can make Nov 4 at 6:30?

Warren Buffett, I belive.

I will try to think of a place to meet as well.
