A few years & a few coats of white paint will bring them into line!

A little elbow grease, a fresh coat of paint, and it was ready for new tenants and we got $25 more per month in rent than with that old one.

I have fourplex in San Pablo, CA, where one of the units has recently developed a lot of mold in coat closet, bedroom, living room etc. 1) I am all set to have the sheet rock, flooring, bathroom redone.

A painter is going to charge you ~500/coat on the cabinets.  

You're also going to need to repair/replace gel coat and carpet every few years.Aramark runs the concessions at Lake Powell, Lake Mead, etc.  

So we swept them out, vacuumed them out, scrubbed them out and disinfected them, and then we painted inside and out with primer coat and a couple coats of paint designed for cabinets. 

Yes, you're right Sean - I would just do a first coat primer and then paint it with a semi-gloss or gloss white - it will make a huge difference!

Then when they come to sign the lease I show them around the house and point out "this is a closet by the front door that you can store your coat in if you wish.

So a property is on the market for $105K, move in ready just needs a fresh coat of paint and new appliances (they were removed) the previous owners were foreclosed on.
