Perhaps try a better quality paint to start with and lessen this issue.

High-quality photos and detailed property descriptions are key. 

Investment quality is all that matters as you build the foundation for your track record.

So, communication and assignment issues, as well as not being able to explain the maintenance issues and the required work.3) Proper documentation and quality of work issues.

To reiterate, I don't need huge profit margins off these and I do want to offer quality rentals but they do need to make sense.  

Most seller's in a sub-to don't understand the risk they are taking and most lenders have concerns over the overall portfolio quality ratings which has an impact on their cost of funds.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?

My rule of thumb is the more details you include about the property the more quality leads that you obtain.

As others have stated, your fit & finish goals should be guided by whether you plan to:1) Rent: tenants don't always take care of a property, so you want to use lower-grade materials and workmanship.2) Flip: higher quality on workmanship and materials is usually required.Regardless, you always want to "Maintain to the Neighborhood".

@Tayvion Payton here's some useful info:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
