House was so filthy when they moved out that it took me a full day ( only 1600 sq ft) to clean, and had to hire painters at $1500 to clean up all the walls.

The painters did not prep the drywall very well and they had some thin spots in the color. 

My recommendation is to hire a painter. 99% of them should be lead safe trained.

.- A grade neighborhood and good pricing means that I have little turnover and seamless transition when tenants move (literally zero days of vacancy in 4 years due to good planning, pricing, and desirability of neighborhood)- I used to live in Boston so before I moved, I already vetted and set up relationships with key maintenance contractors: plumbers, handyman, painters, pest, attorney, etc.

They will probably all have at least slightly different answers.For a painter, I usually supply paint but nothing else.

A painter is going to charge you ~500/coat on the cabinets.  

I made appointments to speak with 2 different property management companies, painters and handymen, thanks to you.

SACRAMENTO —The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) is alerting California consumers who are considering hiring a painter, landscaper – or any other type of construction contractor – that it is illegal to ask for or accept a down payment of more than 10 percent of the total home improvement contract price or $1,000, whichever is less.

I can't speak for all of those repairs, but my painter charges $1.25/sqft almost regardless of the job.  

Depends on the painter.
