I was always hoping for the right buyer, who'd love what I've done, instead of the one that tells me: It has potential, as long as I change everything.I know what it's like to be emotionally attached to a house, so, I'm not telling you to always keep emotion out .But look at it like a painter: Once you're done with a picture, you need to take it off the easel, so that you can start creating a new master piece.

If a tenant offers to paint a rental unit for there security deposit, and they say they are good painters.

I just had my painter look at my floors that I am going to repaint and he said oil based is a must on the floor, it'll last a lot longer.

It was a nonprofit selling it and I actually walked around with the painter pointing at things I wanted him to paint.We got it closed though.

oh wait, who does the mud/tape, the drywaller or painter?

Maybe you are involved with College Pro Painters.

People think they can be the marketer, negotiator, closer, deal analyzer, carpenter, plumber, electrician, painter, property manager, listing agent, staged, developer, etc.

As an example, I was talking to a painter today regarding a "general price" to paint the interior of 1800sf house (ceilings walls casings doors moldings and baseboards).  

My building has lead paint and with fines for not using lead certified painters upwards of 30k the paint job tops 6k.A little dryrot in my bathroom turns into a major job and with a licensed and bonded contractor, 4k+.Add a few odds and ends and it adds up.While the 50% rule holds up, don't use that instead of some good estimating and planning upfront.I have owned this building for 20 yrs.

Hey  @Petit Morne, Can you connect me with that painter in Atlanta?
