I can see the painters painters painted over it, but it shows through, and it look rough like un-sanded wood putty.Any thoughts?

For instance hiring an unlicensed painter will be looked at differently than hiring an unlicensed person to do HVAC work.

If it’s an entire building it’s going to be tough to just sand and paint the problem issues and you may need a lead certified painter which will include potentially “tenting” one side of the house at a time while they remediate.You may also be able to side over it if you can do it without creating lead dust.

Many lessons learned.1) How to be a good landlord2) How to fix many of your own items if needed3) keep a good handyman's number handy4) make contacts with handyman, HVAC guy, general contractor, plumber, painter and form relationships5) you first investment will be daunting but push through it6) buy more The only true challenge this one presented (other than my own fear) was plumbing when I first purchased it Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I am a roofer, painter, dry waller, jack of all trades self employed individual.

Hey I’m finally starting my painting company give me a pm so I can give you a bid on your projects. I have over 20 years of experience in painting.

From painters to plumbing it’s a two week wait to even get a quote before they start a job.

@Ryan Wilp - Shoot me a pm and we can discuss off the forums, but I think we could help and get our painters out there.

So you should not expect that property manager to be a resource for painters, cleaners, etc. on an ongoing basis without a property management agreement in place.To answer your specific question, yes 70% is a good rate.Please be careful with what you're getting into here because a bad tenant can destroy your profitability.

With painters it's usually better to pay more and get it done right.
