I used to coach teachers that wanted to start a side business and I always encouraged them to create a life plan and then figure out how the business would fit into and enhance that plan. 

That's where a commercial grade carpeting works, but if you are going to paint I definitely recommend a high build paint like a deck refinishing paint and preferably one that has some texture added to it like sand for traction.

You've seen these in a gas station bathroom - 4x8 plastic sheets, usually with a shiny finish and pebbly texture. 

They dry walled it, textured it, ran electrical, painted and installed carpet.

I often get calls from people looking to enhance a properties curb appeal and outdoor space in hopes that it will interest buyers. 

Your write-offs can include: acquisition tax (when you purchased), any commissions paid and any enhancements you made to the property (assuming you kept your facturas).  

I spent the day in a new investment property priming a bedroom that was originally painted pink, then "retouched" and "textured" with a sponge and globs of prostitute-passion red latex paint .

This includes drywall/texturing/paint, re-hanging cabinetry, installing baseboards, replacing carpet padding and tacking/stretching carpet back in place, replacing an ice maker box valve, as well as painting (though we may just do this ourselves).

To remove the acoustic texture, it is first wetted down and then scraped. 

There have been a couple of exceptions, for tenants who were super clean, had a great sense of design, and were easy people in general - in those cases, they actually enhanced the experience because the place was decorated so beautifully.
