So probalby doesnt qualify for 2yrs out of 5yrs primary no capital gains tax rule.4) Want to sell it AS IS (im a licensed realtor so will take the 3%) not sure if any renovations are needed, maybe will touch up wall painting and tidy up backyard/add fence. 5) Should it be sold vacant or occupied? 

But 90% do and as stated our dry wall contractor is one the hook for those and our touch up paint year one is included in my contract with my painter.

Word of advice, do not pay a contractor a penny upfront, you will 99% chance, be ripped off.

Here was a breakdown of the work done: - Updated the kitchen- Updated (2) bathrooms- Took down / opened up walls to create an open floor concept - Added LVP flooring throughout- Added new paint and trim - Currently negotiating prices to update the roof What was the outcome?

I bet this manager is ripping tenants off without owners knowledge. 

Its been ripped apart several times over the years.

Does rustoleum countertop paint work on laminate kitchen counter tops?

Prices may rip in the shorter term, but I think inventory will go up.

most work is flooring, remediating the basement, paint and updating one bathroom along with siding repairs/likely window replacement and massive landscaping and  concrete work I like doing.
