If it it's more surface work, like painting, light fixtures, new cabinets, etc, you could likely accomplish it.The more likely scenario is that you have one really bad unit that you can start on either through terminating the lease or offering the tenants some kind of move off incentive.

With a LO you get a tenant with skin in the game ($9k option consideration in my case)  and a commission-free sale with no vacancy. 

@Keely AldingerOne other thing there is also primer stucco guys use to get stucco to adhere over painted surfaces.

I’m a first time investor looking to get some skin in the game, I would like to have some pointers or suggestions on good locations to invest in.

I have my "regular" local bank lender here, we have done previous cash-out refinances, construction loans, 85% LTV investment loans, you name it.However, when I went to speak to my lender about this deal, they weren't keen on the idea of me having no "skin in the game."  

Salting is also very rough to concrete surfaces, brick building masonry, etc.

The directions state for hard surfaces it can be diluted with 2 parts water to 1 product, and I suppose mop it on. 

You are going to have to have skin in the game (some money in the deal).

I am willing to start with a duplex or triplex or whatever fits my budget just to get some skin in the game.

@Elijah Crew, not sure that most private lenders will do 100% financing, most want to see some skin in the game.
