I am a contractor , I dont supply a count of 2x4's and prices , tubes of caulk and gallons of paint .  

I've looked at a few 30+ unit value-adds in that market that pencil out nicely with minor rehab needed (paint/carpet/appliances/fixtures).  

The time specified in the contract was never respected, not the construction set I sent, but the results were going OK, and I was dealing with it, trying to finish.Suddenly The guy disappeared, He didn't reply any or my emails text or calls, even I was following through pictures, some things he said were done, are in reality not done.By mistake the kitchen cabinets and backslash were removed when the construction plans I sent was specified just to paint them, and I'm thinking they probably demolished it by mistake adding a big expense. 

If you smell smoke, go ahead and paint before flooring goes down.

I am trying to avoid an FHA (203K) because I do not want to get stuck tacking on thousands of additional dollars (that I will be paying PMI on) to pay a professional to paint the inside and outside of the house to meet the "no peeling paint" requirements in order to close on loan.

I paint, write, and hike with our two dogs. 

@Keeton Byerly Age of the property and confirmation of lead paint.

It needed new carpet and paint in one of the units.

I know how serious lead paint is and that it’s really expensive to deal with, so I’ll probably only go into a situation with possible lead paint if nothing is peeling.

I want to do the whole thing including the front and backyard , paint inyerior exterior etc.
