Even in the latter case, I often just do two coats of paint.  

It won't be as effective and it will take  multiple coats but it doesn't smell like oil based.

@Andrew Ferguson I'll cut to the chase and avoid the sugar coating.

I've got duplexes in Washington, Riverside, Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and I've done some flipping on the west coat, pre-bubble burst

You will die of a heart attack if you don’t get tougher thicker skin .

As are hardwoods with a ton of clear coat to keep liquids like animal & people pee from seeping into the wood1 neutral color throughout the propertyRemove dishwasherRemove garbage disposalPlace maintenance contact info in the property (we use stickers on hot water tank, furnace & inside of kitchen cabinets)

Painted all the exposed block from my drain ditch up with the rubberized foundation coating as well.  

At this point what stands out as obvious is the cleaning fee and a small amount for paint as i may need to put one extra coat because of the bright colors she put. 

Old growth hardwood, on the other hand, can put up with just about anything a dog can throw at it other than puddles of urine left in place if there's not a heavy poly coat down.

The numbers work for now, TBD on inspection. 2) Worry less about a serious reno since we're already throwing more cash at this than I'd like, throw a fresh coat of paint on it, rent and refinance just enough to make back what we put in.
