@Tonya Weathers I found some interesting stuff.https://www.thumbtack.com/tx/richardson/painting/c...https://www.manta.com/c/mhx3n3y/skandia-constructi...Formed in 2015 https://www.corporationwiki.com/p/2ihf5z/skandia-c...Thought this was interesting on their FAQ page:How do we pay you?

Freshly Painted?

Fundamentals will always paint the picture.  

It's a very clean house with brand new paint, modern appliances and overall good shape.

For the rehab, I like the idea of vinyl plank flooring, semi-gloss paint (because I've heard some people say it holds up better with tenants), new cabinets, counter-tops, appliances, popcorn ceiling removal,  light fixtures, new water heater, fans, new windows. and something to put on the concrete that kills bad odors.What would you do?

The one with particularly ugly brick(black, oranges, yellows) I matched the brick to Behr Pumpkin Butter and painted the wall around the fireplace as an accent and painted the rough cedar mantel something different, lighter creamy yellow.

The units are really new so I don't see any replacement costs besides the normal wear on the property and upkeep (paint every 3-5 years and caulking).

I like knowing that someone is taking care of the exterior of the unit, so when I go to sell, I won't have to worry about a unit being painted teal and bright pink with boarded windows ( exxageration for effect :) ).  

Think how much you know about remodeling so far, whether you have tools, a truck, and how deep you can go (anyone can paint or clean but sheetrock, trims, windows, sewer line... electrical and plumbing often require permit).

You need a place to live no matter what, and I can't imagine rents are very cheap in Portland, so you're usually better off at least having the benefits of a little tax writeoff and mortgage paydown while you own, plus being able to paint the walls the colors you want, etc.I'd hang tight if I were you, see if your market goes up a bit more over the next few years (which I personally believe many will, just my professional opinion,) and try to refi and dump your mortgage insurance (assuming you have it) as soon as possible.In the meantime, hang onto your $50,000, keep growing it, and wait for the right deal.
