Bought under assessed value, slight value add through cosmetic rehab (paint, light fixtures, flooring) What was the outcome?

Paint walls, make sure everything is in great condition.  

Well, I wouldn’t go that far, people throw that word around too much these days but I would say they made a lot of promises that they haven’t kept and paint a very unrealistic picture with an extremely high pressure sales scheme that does a disservice to the vast majority of their students.

I would point out that you have a higher end home here.. its not a 70k rental in the mid west were you just squirt some paint on the walls and put die on the carpet etc..

Power washing the exterior, repairing the driveway, and painting the front doorWhat was the outcome?

For example for a few holes in the walls they have someone paint an entire unit and take their spread.

It'll need some trim and paint on the inside as well as some cleaning and minor touch-up, so I wouldn't consider it far off from being rent ready.I am interviewing property managers now and trying to ask all the right questions.Thank you for sending over those articles.

On the advice of the fireplace guy who did our last cleaning/inspection, we sanded down the brick inside and painted it with the high heat black paint, and it states in the lease that they may use a fireplace-style candelabra if they'd like, but any other use will trigger all the rules in the Fireplace Addendum.
