The concern is possible lead based paint.

Ah, the beauty of real estate: no matter the horrors a house has seen - satanic rituals, questionable paint choices, 1970's wallpaper - everything cleans up.Bloodstains?

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

I have seen this in Milwaukee too many times, the only way to make it work is VERY hands-on.If you end up renting it in March for IDK net $200 the property will have lost a LOT more in the next 12 months just in condition vs what it looks like now (assuming that it is freshly painted?

We do some cosmetic improvements to bring homes to our standard, typically carpet and paint, upgrade lighting etc.

Now for the house you are leaving behind…I like to have this one freshly painted, and take action on any maintenance items.  

., paint, flooring)Medium Cosmetic: $40-$60 per sq. ft.

Paint and carpet are tough enough to organize remotely.

Recommend you Google "Cleveland lead paint instpection" and read what it says on city website.

I don't understand how you can't track them down.You could stop paying HOA dues, and that will force them to contact you.As for the PM, I would instruct them to hold off on painting until the termite issue is resolved, which includes providing you with contact information of the HOA board.
