The roof needed to be replaced, and it was initially though, the siding repainted.

Apparently these cockroaches typically only come out at night though, which is why they weren't seen.I still have the deposit, however I also had to replace the carpet and repaint.

I am actually going to be spending about 1-2k on down unit just to replace her carpet and repaint the place because she is a good tenant.Property taxes: $2,400 annual (will be appealing this since it is higher than what it should be)Utilities: I allot $200 per month, yet to exceed that (Only pay for water and sewer, trash is included in Property Tax)Maintenance: $100 allotted, yet to exceed ($80 for lawn mowing from Spring to Fall (bi-weekly), and winter up to $100 for snow plow)Offering: $87,500 (20% down)Terms: 72 months (30 year Amortized)Interest: 6.5%Payments: $1,369.63 per monthAdditional Comments: This is a very solid property that is brick exterior with tuckpoint done a few years back.

I understand the damage was extensive, but *big whistle* that's pretty steep for repairs and refinishing, especially when considering it was not a 'one-off' and has been consistent with all your properties.Most I have ever paid was around 2k, and while the property was not demo'd, it was banged up pretty good by teens who broke in while it was vacant and threw a party and 'vandalised' it, requiring patches, replaced doors, new carpet, repaired cabinets, repainted walls, etc (this was in Columbia MO)

from what I can tell, looks like repainted walls/kitchen cabinets, new SS appliances, some new light fixtures, carpets in the room, repainted/replaced doors in the room

We are in getting it repainted but the painters say that the sealant will show threw the paint.  

We did the painting ( ehere she perferred) then after 2 weeks later she wanted the bathroom repainted.

Now , if your plan is to just repaint a house and redo the kitchen like HGTV and make $50k+ thats fine.

There are some things that need to be repaired, some rooms need repainting, and some carpet that needs to be replaced so conservatively you spend 15k among all 3 of them to get them ready for the market.

In addition to demo of all flooring and cabinets, we removed the popcorn ceilings and all light fixtures, fans, and hardware.We repainted inside and out.
