Thanks for all the responses sorry it took so long to respond, but after doing a lot of research I finally started the process to buy my first investment propertyThe property I am looking at is in Westmoreland County its a fixer upper with four apartment units, 2 two bedroom apartments and 2 1 bedroom apartments and i'm able to acquire it at $5,000 after paying closing costs and taxes owed on it i'm projecting to be around $10,000 and expecting to have $75,000 in repairs it needs new siding, a new roof, and the inside needs to be redone the estimate is worst case scenario I might be able to get away with less.

The Pro contractors in my area do floors then paint.From what I understand, they have a difficult time sanding and staining around the baseboard and shoe-mold without causing your painters to come back and touch-up.If your painters damage taped off floors, they're doing something wrong.

Looks like they could use some painter's caulk around the seams :)Very cool, thanks for sharing!

I only go with Sherwin Williams because my painter gets a deep discount and it's about the same as the cheap wal-mart paint.Standardizing paint colors is a huge time saver if you have to make repairs or touch ups in the future and is just one less thing you have to think about during a rehab.

hi, i'm drywall/painter from e.ci know investor, maybe cash buyerKel

Also with either of these doors, make sure your painter paints the top and bottom edge, otherwise they will absorb moisture during humid times of the year and "grow" Finally these doors are usually available smooth and wood grain, so confirm that when ordering.

Tenant: "I'm a great painter!

I have a painter that probably has painted 50 properties for me.

@Robert Painter if there are no strings attached sell it and buy what you want to live it.

I heard in one of the podcasts, ask each trade who they would like to follow; ie ask the painters who they would recommend for the sheetrock, etc.
