Unknown, working on it - $650/mo side probably needs a few touch ups and backyard needs landscaping.Neighborhood: C Class.

It would be 1) very hands off for the owner/manager so less headache for them, 2) maintain a high standard of curb appeal through touch up striping, crack sealing, concrete repair, landscaping, etc, and 3) would be charge on a flat monthly rate so there is no deviation from the budgeted amount for maintenance.

One technique we use is to invite residents to come in for a lease renewal meeting, offer incentives and unit maintenance such as carpet cleaning, paint touch ups and sometimes anniversary gifts.

My guess is that I will not be able to get the touchups blend in without painting entire walls. 

There is also paint touch up and hole damage of about $600.

Touch-up paint would be expected, but a fist size hole in the wall would not.

I have a property manager, tenants lined up, a small list of easy touch-up / repairs to do, and cash flow from day 1.

But. realistically, are there any property in the Chicago market built in the 90's or 2000 that need just some "cosmetic" touch up? 

Owning a second vehicle to haul things occassionally doesn't make any sense either, acquisition cost, insurance, maintenance and depreciation for something that you use from time to time doesn't make sense either.I've bought and sold close to 100 houses, done anything from paint and touch up to lots of framing, roofs and other major rehabs, and I've NEVER owned a truck.

That if any touchups needed to be done in the paint, that I would be billed, and that for any work that needed to be done, I would be charged a $100 "coordination fee" by the management company.I had already looked up the owners name/address in the property tax records, but I called the management company and asked to be provided his name/address.
