The seller is currently doing the cosmetic fixes (updating paint for cabinets, new carpet, paint). 

Deal #1 - SFH, 3BD/1BAAsk: 250KWill rent for: 1750/monthTo immediately rent it just needs some paint and some floors to the tune of ~5K. 

Does it need a roof and new heating system or just paint and flooring. 

That someone is going to deliver to you, on a silver platter, a property purchase you can simply say "yeah, sure, I'll take that" where you do some paint, carpet, little cleaning and tidying and turn around and clear a $100k? 

I provide short term rental furnishing and renovation finish list that includes paint colors, light fixtures, cabinets etc.

All new flooring, painting, throughout the house.

Can you arrange for counters, floors, painting other “basics” without him tacking on his 20%?

I'm a pretty handy guy but this would be outside of my realm, but my experience helps me understand how much this type of improvement should cost.Improvements: remodel kitchen and bathroom, paint interior, fix exterior scafolding.How should I go about finding a contractor?

New game room, backyard turf , new appliances , paint , etc What was the outcome?

After that, I'd paint and put a new kitchen in (likely do these myself, which I have done before).
