Right now, I'm seriously considering going through and repainting the entire place a platinum white. 

New carpet/flooring, repaint everything including the kitchen and bathroom cabinets, remove any wallpaper and replace drapes worked on my house that had heavy cigarette odor and yellowing.

That's one tip but we've come out to pay <$500-800 complete done for granite which we think adds a ton of perceived value as well as having a much more hardy better long term material for rentals.One other tip is the use of existing or used cabinets that you then repaint white. 

For cheap you can repaint ($100-150 for the day for a guy off Craigslist). $30 for a gallon of paint. $10 for a brush.

The garage needs to be repainted and windows fixed.I did a walk thru off the house.

These fixes will cost year 2 years of your good cashflow and a little $400 deposit will not even cover the cost to repaint the home.

I'm wondering how often you re-paint the interiors of your single family rental homes?

What can be touched up can't be an entire room repaint and then charged to the tenant.

You'll have to re-paint it sooner than 10-15 years so I wouldn't worry about choosing a paint that will not dated in 10-15 years.To me, white is neutral but also so institutional-like and a paint with more color in it will make it feel more like a home for the tenant.
