This is my first ever youtube video, next time I won't do the vertical shot I promise.The work needed:Replacement Roof (he said maybe a patch or two but every room has signs of a leakNew windowCeiling has several moldy spots and one part where the ceiling has a hole in itNew carpet + paint and patches. 3 new interior doors.New appliancesReplace rotten fascia boardsHe says the heater and AC "probably work" but I would be surprised to be honestI am estimating probably 12k, but I am not sure.

Patch them yourself, dab some paint on them and move on.

The thing I wish we had kept front of mind back then was that buy and hold is a long term investment, so while we went through a rough patch with the mold issue and potentially lowering the rent, if we could have been patient, we'd current be enjoying years more of equity paydown, and significant appreciation, both in monthly rental price and value of the home.

I have one that charges an insane low price, can color match stains, and if all else fails patch the stain.Call up apartment complexes and talk to maintenance supervisors and see who they use.

If you need to save money, I would recommend you learn how to patch/repair the problem areas so it can pass inspection.

If some walls are better shape than others and just doing touch-ups isn't going to work well, you can always cut in just one whole wall and the difference will be almost indistinguishable vs having a bunch of one-foot patches of new paint. 

It’s true that they rarely uninstall and patch and paint to as good as new, so I have to charge against their deposit as needed.The main thing is you cannot let it snowball from garage opener at your expense to new washer and dryer at your expense etc. if you end up paying for any new updates I’d suggest an agreed upon rent increase for financing the improvement so like new appliances is an extra $100/mo (with their permission and yours).

The patch on the wall was an attempt to repair it. 

Anything bigger than patches, fixing locks ie small stuff get actual measurementsexample sheet rock a 10' x 8' room walls and ceilings, with 8' ceiling = 368ftsq. 

In addition to a few dry wall patches and door frame fixes.
