In the 6 months I'll be doing some rehab (paint, floors, some fixtures, new island, etc.).

I believe that paints the picture of who you are competing against and who you are dealing with. 

Is it painted chartreuse?

Needs some light exterior work (paint, caulk, broken vinyl siding).

It's painted green. 

A big trick is to do cosmetic updates to max out the rents, for example most deals I sell we raise rents a good 30-100% after paint, new counters, new flooring, paint/replace cabinets.

One demanded we paint the interior the color they wanted or they wouldn't renew their lease.8) MoveOut damages typically exceed their security deposit.

I’m waiting on a contractor to come install an egress anyways, so the extra month it’s taking me to do minor repairs and paint  hasnt affected the schedule yet, but it’s definitely an important lesson.

I also believe part of my “firing” was due to the fact that on the phone with her she mentioned how the lease renewal fee paid to her was less than what it should have been due to entry error by the person who entered the contract.I also received an invoice for $2700 for painting that was done TO ANOTHER HOUSE THATS NOT MINE!

I think there is really trying to do your best as a syndicator and then gross negligence projecting deals that are riskier than they are but painting a picture of less risk to induce capital to purchase.
