That may mean everything isn't turnkey and you have to pick up a paint brush and learn some skills to keep your costs down. 

I had already purchased and designed the kitchen prior to closing.4) Acquire general supplies and fixtures ahead of time, big box construction stores have generous return policies and it will save you time and headaches of having to run out for a paint brush.5) Meet inspectors and code enforcement officials in person and don’t be a jerk, approach any conflict with curiosity and understanding and ask how they would like to see you address any issues.

We did one from 1843 that had not seen a paint brush in decades and yes, the paint was lead based. 

We own and self manage about 800 single family properties (90% Single Family Homes and 10% multi family), build new construction for rent (no custom builds or for other people; however one of the LLC's holds a general contractors license so it bills back all expenses of the build to the entity building the house and most payroll is ran through it as well), we have a warehouse with over 10K skews for material we buy in bulk (shingles, flooring, hot water heaters all the way down to individual plumbing connectors and paint brushes) and we buy about 200 properties a year with the vast majority of them needing extensive rehabs.

I doubt I could remember all of the tools we've used on our rentals, but I'll give it a shot.Screwdrivers of various sizes/types, hammers, crowbar, cat's paw, shovels, rakes, broom & dust pan, wrenches of various sizes/types, pliers, wire strippers, circuit tester, reciprocating saw, circular saw, hacksaw, tile saw, miter saw, table saw, box cutter, scissors, pencils, tape measure, level, drill with bits and other attachments, string, saw horses, rotozip, heatgun, clamps, tin snips, saber saw, trowels, buckets, sheet rock knives, nail guns, paint brushes, rollers, trays, paint sprayer, rags, hoses & sprayers, power washer, tarps, carpet stretcher, work lights, garbage cans, paper tiger, garden sprayer, extension ladder, step stool, 6 & 8 foot step ladders, air compressor, toilet brush, shop vac, extension cords, fans . . . . . . .

Before you whip out your paintbrush or unsheathe your trusty hammer, take a moment to plan every detail meticulously.

I can't focus on marketing, networking, building systems etc. when I have a paintbrush in my hand all day for a week.

You might be a GC for all I know, or you might be totally inept with a paintbrush.

@Hai Loc   It would be interesting if you did a scientific test by getting seven small paint brushes and then paint seven stripes side by side and see if you can see any differences.

A perfect example of real hard work and looking at the details instead of painting with a common paintbrush and running away.
