I myself live in a 100 year old home - and i am sure there is lead paint under 10 coats of paint somewhere.I would really love to hear about what these inspections are like.

As for occupancy it has had to have been empty at some point in time, so that would feel to me like he's already sugar coating it.You can ask for copies of all the leases to see what they say about change of ownership and their rent.  

Something will be buoyed, even if it is just the market for thicker mattresses or shovels :)  .

pressure wash to get all the dirt off....then do a solid coat of kilz (it's a primer that the brick will soak in so the paint sticks).

They're in great shape just need a coat of poly.

You can still get cheap ($25/gallon interior) paint that you won't be doing coat over coat.Good luck!!

The house is outdated, ugly wall paper, laminate butcher block kitchen counters, appliances are old but they do work, and needs a coat of fresh paint.

The houses all tend to be about the same and the rehabs are basically put another coat of paint over the 50 existing and patch the holes in the cabinets. 

. $200 for paint would likely not purchase enough to get a single coat of paint on a 1400 sq ft house, let alone pay someone to paint it.

yes, stained with a wax coat on top.
