Looks in the ballpark - especially if your PM has a working relationship with the painter - of course a couple more bids is the obvious answer - but when you don't live in market you really need to lean on the PM for not just a fair price but a reliable painter. 

For example, are you supplying the paint for the painters? 

The danger is when you wire brush old paint, the painters must make sure they have personal protective equipment, PPE, like a respirator, gloves, bunny suit, etc.

  - removing trash and regular upkeep of the building- basic handyman skills and customer service (responsible for outsourcing more complex repairs)- dealing with contractors and giving access to the building or apartments (roofer, brick repair, painter for fascia and fire escape)- preparation and apartment showings for new tenants - major repairs such as painting an apartment to make it tenant ready will be extra compensation. 

SIngle Family Homes.My handyman retired in June 2016.I need help in finding a good, reliable handyman for multiple small jobs.I do have a painter, and a gardener I can trust with good bids.

Hello Everybody,I have a property in Lakewood, Ca that's in need of interior and exterior paint (stucco). It's 1,000sq, 2bed, 1 bath and I will likely be using very simple single-color scheme for renters.What should I...

They always have a full house and you'll find anything from lenders, wholesalers, investors, rehabbers, contractors, painters, ect.

If I have one receipt that covers multiple houses, I'll break it up by Class -- assigning the correct amount to the correct Class (house).If an invoice covers multiple trades, I'll break it up as much as reasonably possible, though I try not to go crazy (if a painter gives me a bid for two coats of paint, I won't break it up into two line items :). 

If you DIY, then the best plan I've seen is tape painter's plastic all around and over the floor.

That’s why many landlords will just hire a handyman, painter, or cleaning service to do the work - then it’s billable against the security deposit.
