The other I would just touch up.

The property is comestically distressed and needs a bevy touch up.

I would definitely touch up the paint for them. 

Carpets, paint touch ups, normally a couple small repairs all add up pretty quickly.  

I'm looking at properties anywhere from $50k-$150k, mostly searching around $100k (SFH or duplexes seems be the homes in this range), with total upfront investment of $40k max (down payment / fees / minor touchup / cosmetic rehab, if needed). 

I'd sell through Redfin at 1% seller's agent fee because we bought with Redfin last fall, so I estimate 6% closing costs (not including holding costs and just need to touch up paint in some areas, but have new flooring, new roof, and recently upgraded electrical).  

I use some of my maintenance budget for touch up paint between tenant turnovers.

We did partial remodel to the upstair bathrooms with professional help, my husband and I touch-up paint all the walls and it was deep-cleaned before showing, even my garage was shopvac-ed.

I have decided to sell my duplex but before even listing it because I am getting some minor touch up and repairs done, I have been approach with an offer.

I can see through pictures that some parts of the house could use a touch up, paint, new appliances, or tile in the bathroom but I'm having trouble quickly understanding what this number would be and what I should make as an initial offer.
