We usually do any touch-up paint while we are there also.

Either way, you would be left with roughly enough to put 10% down on a $400-600K property and still have cash leftover for closing costs, furnishings and minor touch up renovations. 

We don't even let the tenants fill nail holes or touch-up paint, as they usually screw it up, so we let a lot of little things go as normal wear and tear and just have it addressed between tenants.

.- 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!

Maybe Elon's robot will do free repairs, handle collections, touch up paint scratches, plunge toilets, and all the other headaches we deal with in real estate investing. 

A renovation company that has already completed over 350 renovations for us will quickly do whatever touchups/repairs are necessary so we can get the property back on the market.Use electronics to control access and reduce turnover time.

Walls don't look bad at all overall but it depends on whether you have touch up paint that matches or not.

Plus I always have it on hand for touch-ups since I use it in every house.

Then cabinetry, countertops, and final coats of paint (I have the base and case pre painted before install so that caulk and paint touch ups for the nail holes are all that is needed).

We also re-paint or touch up the walls at every turnover as well.
