Phew, let see hereTaxes, when you purchase the property your tax assessment is going to go up (in Chicago they say pretty dramatically) so make sure you find out what the current property tax in your tax zone is, and apply that to the new purchase price.Move out costs can include but are not limited to such things as repainting, new carpet, toilet and sink repair, garbage disposal, trash out costs.

I hosed and washed the front of the WHITE brick, it is on a dirt street, repainted the TURQUOISE shutters and screen door, and R&R's the kitchen sink.

Hmm, maybe we should repaint the front door to a different color.

When it seems that you have tried everything and nothing seems to work, repaint your space.

It will be easier for you the next time you need to repaint since you have a good base/starting point.

In the "historic" communities like in Pontiac, they like to keep the integrity of the homes, and will not allow to have the windows replaced, just cleaned up and repainted.

I read on of these threads a few months ago about one landlord who used hardwood and just sanded and repainted when necessary.

The multi already has a tenant living upstairs and the bottom floor can be rented immediately once I tile the bathroom and repaint.. thank you any advice from fellow buy and hold investors or any one!

My question is: I purchased the house in Oct 2006 and the previous owners had thoroughly cleaned and repainted it before putting it on the market.
