All you do is scrap the flaking paint, and repaint.

@Jim K.Jim - greatly appreciate your candor and painting a very impactful picture.

When I ran 12 employees churning out ultra high volume apartment painting, we had daily and weekly meetings.

I'm a former painting contractor and don't mind fix-up projects but of course would choose a property with LESS work rather than a full make-over. 

Replaced all flooring, painted top to bottom, new fixtures, new stainless steel appliances, replaced counter tops, added back splash, repaired sheet rock on ceiling in laundry room, new front door and garage entry door to kitchen, new garage door.

@Gorden Lopes I would start with landscaping and painting outside; how's the roof and major systems?

They are minimal, the previous owner owned a hardware store close by and has kept everything updated and has updated carpets, paint, doors, bathroom flooring, etc.

I've had a tough time filling a vacancy since September 1st after I had renovated the unit; I pulled up the carpet to put down vinyl flooring, re-painted, and added stainless steel appliances. 

I’m trying to find an easier way for leads, my bandit signs are being ripped down a few hours after being posted.

@Andrew AgerI can use an extra hand in painting a rental.
