Just make sure when you re paint it you seal the cracks with proper filler and use stucco paint that has sealer in it.

Wait until your first unit turnover with a full-repaint because you need more than a touch-up!

I think a fresh paint job makes a significant difference and repainting the trim white!

If you have bold colors, repaint in neutral colors, de-clutter the apt, clean the bath and kitchen, etc...

Garage and some trim were painted eight years ago, but the siding was never re-painted in the last 15 years.

And things like repairing a clogged toilet and mowing the lawn are clearly OpEx.Of course, that leaves a whole lot of stuff in the middle: repainting an exterior, putting in hardwoods, installing new carpet, replacing a toilet, etc.In fact, you could argue that if you remodel an entire bathroom, it's CapEx, but if you replace the toilet today, the sink next month, the tub the following month, the flooring the following month, and the lighting the following month, each expenditure is OpEx.So, you can see that determining if something is OpEx or CapEx is not an exact science.As usual, the IRS has chimed in and tried to clarify things, but they haven't done a very good job of it.

For instance - in the kitchen we were just going to repaint the cabinets, put new hardware and new faucet.

They have always been my highest failure rate group as well as the highest damages group.Unrelated single young males have been the worst, the last two have ended in evictions, both due to non-payment, one caused when one of the young men moved out, the other both just not paying.They were also the worst damages group and the places required the most cleaning, re-painting and repair.

If so, I'd repaint that green bedroom to match the main living areas.

Are you keeping cabinets and repainting them or getting all new ones?
