It is a townhouse we bought at the courthouse and luckily the rehab was just some drywall work, new floors, paint, appliance, and countertops.  

It was very nicely renovated inside with laminate hardwood and tile with nice new paint.

I have completed a few flips, some patch and paint and some are complete renovations.

Everything is going on in the market.Charlotte has one of the most active RE markets in the US.This is an extremely broad question, but some basic economic research on RE trends for the area should paint a good picture for you.

In the meantime he's bugging me to paint the outside hallway.

I figured at least a coat of paint at min to make rentable, or about 20k to bring both sides up to date partially... 

His team was able to do it all hang doors, paint, plumbing, tile and electrical. 

I would reach out to your agent and mention that you are only looking for properties that require "paint and carpet" fixups.

Where I'm located the housing stock is predominantly quads and smaller... and its almost all converted SFH that are 100+ years old to boot (translated = rotted sewer lines, knob & tube electric, lead paint, asbestos siding & pipe wrap)... all the things that say OPPORTUNITY... and I've been missing it for over a year!

You’ll need to do a turnover when they leave at some point and it will need paint at a bare minimum.
