I put 18k in materials I repainted the interior , replaced the old iirrigation, put up shade screens over the pool and lounge area in back yard, repainted and stained the kitchen and bathroom cabinets, replaced the kitchen countertops, replaced the flooring in both bathrooms and walk in closet and finally put a new Hvac and heater in.

Repaint Kitchen cabinet + get new knobs10.

I am told it doesn’t need any repairs but I am still assuming $5,000 to repaint and anything small to get it sale ready. $20,000 in commissions which if you have a buyer I am sure they would list with you (I think you are an agent too?)

Best part is the company you buy from usually does a 12 month touch-up to fix nail pops, wall cracks, repaint, etc.

Since I only have 25k and 12k would go to downpayment that would give me an additional 13k I could either spend on improvement for the property (outside could use some new asphalt, little landscaping, repaint fences and exterior).

The lower unit needs to be repainted and window coverings redone anyway.2.

I'm going to do must of the repairs myself, paint inside/outside, repaint kitchen and bath cabinets and some new lights.

If paint is peeling and you don't repaint (you wouldn't need to hire a "me" to do that, you can do it yourself as long as it's done in 30 days) you could be held liable because you were negligent.

Also, I'm looking to re-paint most of the walls and kitchen cabinetry as the previous owner chose some colors that I don't necessarily agree with :). 

I think the owner, who's pretty laid back, would suggest we hire a handyman and patch a few places, re-paint and fix the fixtures that were burnt out, and he would think he could get it all passable for $3-5k.
