They get a great deal and we walk away with more or less the same as we would if we listed it on the MLS vacant, and we don't have to repaint or make minor repairs since they're already living there.

I am looking to start repainting some units in my complex as they come vacant. 

Tenants left after 30 days notice (given the high increase in rents) and a two-man crew spent 5 days re-painting the entire apartment top to bottom, installing new lights, pressure cleaning exterior walls and driveway.

Some Kilz for the ceiling and a complete interior repaint and I netted $23,500 in about one month.My wife and friends laughed about me paying all that money for my masters degree just to be a roofer, most of whom earned about $3.50/ hour.

For example one tenant wanted his unit repainted they had been there a few years so it wasn't an absurd request.

Goal is to rent again for $1,650 so feels like we should repaint.

I had one apartment that was so bad I had to replace the HVAC ductwork, the HVAC, the carpet, the ceiling tiles and repaint all the surfaces, plus put in an ozone machine for several days!

The cabinets will be repainted white.

For example, I bought a duplex about a month ago that is distressed for $150k and I have to upgrade the kitchens and baths, repaint all the trim and walls, and replace some flooring.

They had me add window pins the 8 of the first floor windows (had no idea what those were until the inspection), repaint the house numbers because they matched the side of the house because first respondents would have a hard time seeing them, and I had to buy and install a new window for an upstairs bedroom (old one was double-hung and too small to egress out of).
