Patrick,Like your name. two things, first one is very important, if you haven't bought the house yet do not post the address on here, someone may take it right out from under you. second, the house looks to be in decent shape, a paint job and and new windows you are ready to go ( that includes painting the cabinets), bath tiles you could either replace or re-glaze to get rid of that purple. not in the best of areas, seems like there is high crime around it, check Trulias crime map.

Bad idea - pay rent first then you can talk about hiring him if it needs paint - make sure you approve the paint colors - if he paints it bright purple then you will have to have it repainted upon move out and it will cost a fortune to cover up the purple paint - also think about this, if he does a bad job and you don't pay him, he can file a mechanics lien on the property until you do UGH - you don't want that - have the proper docs in place before you hire anyone - scope of work, pay agreement, general release and final paycheck - this will protect you

Our self-produced album - meaning we had no record company to answer to, so total artistic freedom - took almost two years to complete.

@Ethan GriffelI think you can do this but definitely not as the book describes it.I might be able to tell them pick out any color from this product line, or give them 3-4 options but letting them choose is how you get lime green paint and purple carpet and just create more expenses long term having to replace it in a few years when they move.I do have some long term tenants I'd let pick from some options, but not go pick out their own stuff completely.

It has purple carpets, green walls in the entire unit except for sun yellow walls in the kitchen.

I have a photo album of everything if you'd like to see all the photos send me a DM!

The median price increased 41% from Apr-20 to Mar-22 and the average price increased 45%; so, they had somewhat comparable increases over the subject period and the relative difference between the purple and green lines may have statistical validity.Nik's blog appears to use the average mortgage rates by year. 

Paint the shed purple and yellow.

So our first try, our contractors painted the house pastel purple.
