Focus your energy on finding someone new, not punishing someone for a few dollars.

Example setup:Person A is time & energy partner - no capital contributed, will be finding the deal and managing the property.

Professional landlords do not operate out of fear and will ultimately operate a more efficient and profitable business.

It's way more efficient for everyone. 

Talking with multiple investors and realtors in the target markets then crunching the numbers on the markets that work for your goals, time, energy and capital will guide you to find the right property. 

And if I was one of your clients, I would much rather you put your energy into defending me in court, then learning how to properly patch, sand, tape, and prep the walls for painting.I personally have painted a couple of my own projects, but I had the time and somewhat knowledge and experience, and also had run to the bottom of my budget at those times.A few tips/comments which may be helpful:*  As someone else previously posted - gets multiple quotes (3-5)* Ask you fellow realtor friends/associates for painter referrals* Check NextDoor.com for painter referrals* Go to the professional paint stores (Dunn-Edwards, Benjamin Moore, etc) and ask them for referrals.

Focus on modern, efficient layouts that maximize living space without extensive structural changes.

In an age where any and all data is $$$, how does your company guarantee that all my work, time and energy driving around and cataloging all these distressed properties, won't be wrapped up and later sold as "Leads" to other investors or companies to sell? 

But I would recommend that you focus your attention, energy and money on getting him out of there.
