I have a security deposit for 1 months rent, but they did not leave the home in great condition (minor damage to drywall, did not re-paint rooms they painted upon moving in, furniture left behind).I'm looking for recommendations on how to handle this situation.

From what I'm seeing..fresh paint, granite on the counters, pain the cabinets plus new hardware, laminate flooring anddd....done?

I have a SFH that I purchased for 50K put around 6K of cosmetic rehab into it (paint & carpet was really all the interior needed did some landscaping myself for curb appeal) got the down payment of 10K from my 401K.

I was wrong.The Rehab:My brain turned from “I’m an investor” to “I can totally paint an entire home to save two grand.”

I’ve always had significant interest in the industry, but became even more fascinated while working a college internship with The Sherwin-Williams Paint Company a few years ago.

Both structures need exterior paint; 5.5k, only main house needs interior paint; 1.2k.

We just painted a another house a medium gray with white trim and I loved it.

I was not fast at repairing drywall or interior paint.

New flooring, paint, bright lights, some landscaping, occasionally new appliance or two.

Now that I have a good GC, all I want to buy are rehab jobs ;)My point is you can still get cashflowing deals on properties that are rent ready.Thanks for the advice,  I agree 100%, if I need to rehab, prob just cosmetic small job, like painting, flooring, etc.
