The house was freshly painted before they moved in.

American Home Sheild in my experience is a complete rip off to the consumers.

@Patricia Via, RIP Land America! 

One final thought, as I assume you are a first time investor, looking to invest out of area in “a risky high cash flow deal” sets the stage for you to be ripped off by a fast talker.

It also helps if you start to keep everything the same(flooring choice, paint agreeable grey, fixtures, vanities) the more that you can systemize the better every step of the way will be.

Carol i am a painting major.

The trick on getting those rents up is to rehab with nice finishes, granite countertops, dishwashers, laundry, nice ceiling fans, nice paint.

It was renovated to have an open floor plan, new paint, recessed lighting throughout, and LVP flooring.

I instantly distrust sponsors who paint a rosier picture than the reality. 

The condo has brand new flooring, paint and carpet,dishwasher and fairly new with a lake view.
