But what about things like insurance, garbage, water/sewer, turnover like painting, cleaning, etc?

flooring, painting, handyman work basically. 

A simple fix and flip; clean, landscape the yard (in Arizona that means spread some gravel), a couple new light fixtures, and touch-up paint.  

Never hurts to ask at the local paint store what's popular now-a-days.

The stones would cover paint, but would make the kitchen look nicer.

Just looking for opinions before i have them paint the door. 

And if it needs painted, shouldn't it be painted irrespective of this guy? 

It is clean and safe, but not overly nice, and there is a major eyesore property next door to this one.It has new siding, new paint and new floors and does not appear to have super aged water heater/ac/roof but I intend to have a home inspection to verify the big stuff.

I told him I am not looking for the cost of the door handlers or the cleaning, I am looking for kitchen and bath counter tops, painting, flooring..items in the 1000's.  

What I am seeing is a lot more rehabs that are just carpet and paint and flippers leaving in old windows, heating systems which are on their last life.
