Fast forward five years..I and my team (uh...fiancé) have purchased, upgraded, furnished, rented and sold three vacation rental homes on the Oregon Coast, flipped one parcel of semi developed land and recently completed a free and clear ocean view nightly vacation rental in north Baja Mexico. 

It's one thing to have good systems in place, but it's another to go through all that info on a semi-regular basis.   

I would recommend going with eggshell or satin finish with a rental cause its easier to wipe off marks with a magic easier in-between tenants and for bathrooms/kitchens & trim you will want to use semi-gloss finish or very least satin.

Purchase price: $1,750,000 Cash invested: $500,000 My husband and I bought a beautiful semi renovated 3 family unit in Brooklyn to bring us back to the city after being away during th pandemic.
