Popcorn is definitely out especially when you have to repaint them.I remove them but the best one I had was a '70's SFH that had adobe plaster walls everywhere!!!

The home would be rehabbed (to the value of around $13k).Truth: Judging by the state the property was in when it was finally opened up and cleared out/cleaned/repaired/repainted etc by another, much more honest property manager that I thankfully found, no rehab had taken place in the last few years.

"yes I want you to repaint and move that light....remember that mold issue we dealt with?....

Triple coating windowsills in a lead encapsulating paint... repainting "friction points" (think doorjambs, old cabinet doors, etc.)... repainting old wooden porches/decks... all of these things can reduce the potential lead hazard without breaking the bank.  

They probably had water dripping from the ceiling and had to repaint at some point.

The tenant just moved out: the yard is overgrown (past my knees for about 70% of the yard and taller than me in some places), they left a truckload of junk behind, the carpet that was brand new at move in is stained, and about a third of the house needs to be repainted after all of the necessary drywall repairs.Your local landlord association or REÍA should have a checklist template for rental inspections that you can use as a template.  

For this one, for instance, I can tell I have a kitchen rework, 2 bathroom guts, at least some window replacements, a lot of landscaping cleanup, entire interior repaint.  

Made my living repainting and refinishing.

It wouldnt have been much harder to repaint the whole wall

I use the same two colors and have the formula so that I can touch-up where needed and not have to re-paint the whole place.
