And, I understand that I must remodel kitchens and bathrooms every 10 - 15 years, plus, I must replace the roof every 20-30 years and repaint exterior every 4-5 years and repaint interior every tenant turnover, or maybe (on average) every 2-3 years.

In my experience, expect higher turn over of tenants which leads to higher repair cost(repainting, cleaning , vacancies, evictions, etc.)Also, you would be surprised how picky some section 8 tenants are, they might not be interested in such neighborhoods.Good luck either way.

The seller "fixed it" (spacing) by zip tying lattice to all the spindles....yes, zip ties and plastic lattice....smh i tore out all the spindles, patched holes, repainted, then sunk all new spindles using 3" screws.

The tenant only has one bathroom, and I'm trying to figure out if I should just match his paint (flat, which is the whole problem) and repaint the corner to be less intrusive or if I should go ahead and paint the whole thing semi-gloss to take care of the problem.My main concern is taking a day to paint his entire bathroom where he'll pretty much need to be gone.

I currently have it under contract for 89k.I would particularly like to hear from other members in Miami.Location: Little RiverThe realtor said its a rough neighborhood.It's central to transport and shops.Little River is said to be the next place to boom.Repairs:All the flooring throughout is beautiful.It needs to be repainted on the inside and outside.The roof is leaking but I think it only requires a repair, not replacement.1 bathroom needs to be replaced as it's very outdated.The garage has been sealed off and I plan to convert to a bedroomThere is a back room which was added to the property which has a bathroom.

Repainting all wallsReplace moldings Update light fixtures.

We have found it essential to visit our properties and look for things an owner would notice -- is it time to repaint outside trim and porch rails, treat decks, repair loose fence pickets, etc., items that would get very expensive if neglected but tenants don't ever call about.   

(A side note, when you rent, don't care to who, taken photos of interior, all rooms, I do before they move in 99% of time while they, the tenants are there so they see me taking photos and they can point anything out they want to me, helps me big time and sucks for them saying this or that when they move out and want deposit back, when maybe the walls need re-painted, carpet needs replaced, you get the point.)

If authorized, walls must be returned to original color upon vacating.I'd keep a portion of security deposit in order to repaint.

We almost always repaint our apartments when we turn them over so the extra damage is holes in the walls, damaged doors, pet damage, missing fixtures, water damage, damaged cabinets, etc.
