What I need to be done:Paint touch up, may have to paint a room if there is anything that looks bad.

This particular home is in good structural shape, needs a lot of touch ups, but is move in ready (family of 5 currently there). 

I usually do it when my tenant is away on vacation, and I use that time to touch up the rental as well.

The Westford property needs a window replacement and maybe a touch up on the front and back deck.

The drywall texture and paint Went on quick and looked great the stairs didn't look great don't think his guys knew what they were doing but looks ok I guess tile was being put in by a handy man very bad very slow I made him take it out, second time wasn't as bad but did the wrong pattern after telling him I wanted it set random 58 times so told him I wasn't happy and he came and took it up again and stayed late to redo the right way so by this point we are 3 weeks past the end day and its costing 2000 a month to hold so finally found someone who could tile got that done now just waiting for baseboards touch ups and the stairs to be painted every week he says I'll be done Friday with everything but then his guys got show up 3 days that week or 5 and I'm pretty far ahead in the payments at least.

If you end up getting some or all walls require paint touch up or painting do you deduct this cost from the security deposit?

I can also help you rehab some houses if you buy some good deals that require touch ups :)

I don't want to drive into a neighborhood I don't feel safe in AT NIGHT -IF I ever have to check on something at the property or pick up the rent -rare, but happens).FINDING TGE RIGHT PROPERTY IS KEY.It is very possible with common sense, research, your personal knowledge of the Raleigh area to FIND a house in great shape (needing only cosmetic touchups and yard work)that is under-priced and in a highly appreciating section of Raleigh.My GOLD STANDARD PROPERTY to buy in the past was a minimum:HOUSE with 3Br 2Ba 2 car garage, 1400 sqft MINIMUM.But ALL home prices in Charlotte have gone UP.

A townhome that needs cosmetic touch up has been on market for a while now and wondering maybe I will be the last one to place an offer.

Class of tenant is very high in this property, with only minor touch-up painting required upon move-out.
